T&T: Interprotect

[Keith]

There are three Interprotect products. They are barrier coats and need to be
put on before anti-fouling paint. You can check them out at:

blistering. 

I used them when I peeled and relaminated my hull back in 2003. Here's what
I put on a bare hull after peeling and drying.

3 sessions of 1.5 oz. fiberglass mat with vinylester resin
2 coats Interprotect 1000 - High build epoxy primer
2 coats Interprotect 2000 - 2 part epoxy barrier coat
1 heavy sweep Interprotect VC tar2 - Watertight 2 part epoxy putty
3 coats Interprotect 2000 - 2 part epoxy barrier coat
2 coats antifouling - Petit Trinidad SR (4 gallons).

Hello

I'd like to get some advice on a product called "Interprotect". It's to
apply on a fiberglass hull which never had such a protection, but there is
already the antifouling paint.

Can I apply the Interprotect over the antifouling after a light sanding ?

Considering that the Interprotect is an epoxy, how do you repair the hull if
necessary in the following years ? With polyester resin or epoxy resin ?

Is Interprotect really a big "plus" against blisters and osmosis ?

Thanks a lot
