I probably made it worse with a bottom epoxy job. Now it manifests itself with stryrene bleeds through gelcoat and paint stress cracks. It's unsettling, and makes it pretty useless to think about repainting the topsides, but having (and wanting) no where else to live I've also tried to resign myself to the hope that the loss is minimal and time will favor the hull more than me. Like weathering a storm offshore, it's strangely and maybe selfishly reassuring to know your not alone. Thanks for sharing your experiences.chrisjmelohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18393080187496560999noreply@blogger.com
