- Marine Trader 41
In May of 2014 I painted the topsides of my trawler, a 1981 Marine Trader 41 with Interlux Brightside. I sanded my gelcoat, applied 3 coats of undercoat and 2 coats of Brightside. All paint coatings were sanded between coatings.
Only vertical surfaces were painted with Brightside. All horizontal surfaces were painted with perfection. Things worked out very good. Untill this year. Receantly some but not all vertical surfaces have started to buble. Some are pinsize. Only one surface have large 1/4" size bubbles.
After 5 years, why now? I live Vancouver B.C. The boat is totally covered with a Lohman Boat cover from October to April.
Has any one else had this problem? The solution, sanding and repainting sounds like a real drag.
