Well, I didn't think I had much weight in the bow :) Next year I'll make sure there's nothing up there but air, and just enough water in the forward tank to flush the head several times during the next sail.

Moving weight out of the bow will make the boat faster as well! I used Brightsides as well as Perfection in the past. When water pooled for long periods on the painted surfaces would be some blistering. Usually went away when it dried out though. Your Antifouling should extend a bit above the waterline anyway so that could be an easy solution as well Mike From: RANDY [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, October 26, 2016 3:49 PM To: cnc-list Cc: Hoyt, Mike Subject: Re: Stus-List Painting Hulls and Now Rolling and Tipping... Yes I will have to make some adjustment. She wasn't sitting perfectly on the waterline as painted - she was a bit bow-heavy. The blistering at the lower edge of the boot stripe was all forward, while the lower edge of the aft end of the boot stripe looks fine. When I launch her in the spring I'll make sure she's completely empty except for the fuel tank, and see how she sits on her painted waterline.

Randy Brightside and even two part paints are not supposed to be used below the waterline. Can you bring up your antifouling a bit higher to remedy this?

I repainted my boot stripe this spring with the roll and tip method, and Interlux Brightside, and was happy with the result. Sanded off old flaky paint thoroughly with successively finer grits, and applied two coats of paint. But the bottom edge of the boot stripe that was in the water all the time still blistered with lots of little micro-blisters, within just one season. The parts above the waterline still look good.

So I was re-painting my tired and mooring abused waterline stripes. Killed myself sanding and prepping. Watched videos on rolling and tipping. Bought a high-end brush and armed with a quality foam roller went to work applying the Brightside. Leaving out the self imposed debacle of coat one and the resulting need for re-sanding I start The 1st coat 2.0. Start rolling and tipping again and immediately did not like the results. By accident I just rolled the paint out more than once and found it laid beautifully as I gently re-rolled paint until all the bubbles were gone. Bingo. The results were what I was looking for. Just thought I would share that bit of experience to those who may think their rolling and tipping skills may be wanting. You may not need them after all... David F.
