Does anyone have any guidance on where to begin on how to repair pimple blisters? I have a boat that is covered on the entire water line. I would think it needs to be sanded down so each blister is opened and then re-gel coated? any help appreciated.

Brian,
You have the correct idea on blister repair. Depending on how bad the problem is, there are times where whole sections of gel is removed or even complete bottoms from the waterline down. Some hulls do it while others don't. Hulls that stay in the water seem to have more of a problem. The blistering is caused by water absorption and the reason base resons have changed over the years. If you are doing a few blisters and if they will be visible, the hardest part is the gel color match. How about posting some picturs?

Thanks for the reply Pete, I grab some pics today. They are pretty bad, as far as they are everywhere.

Brian,
From the picture, it looks like it's a candidate for a complete gel job.
