nice. how did you repair it? did you laminate the whole hull because of that amount of blisters? or did you repaired every single one?

[@svassai9492]

Thanks. No, we didn't need to laminate as the hull is very thick.
What we did was:
1. remove the old coating from the hull (completly)
2. sandblasting for removing the delaminated parts
3. pressure wash it every week for 3 months over winter and constantly measuring how much moisture is still in the hull
4. relaminating only some exclusive parts that needed to be reinforced.
That's it. Hope, that helped

I use an electric wood planer which i can remove 1m3 in 20 minutes tight radius areas are done with orbital sander which will do 1m3 in 5hr, all equipment is connected to a vacuum. Mind you it could be worse if i had to listen to a nagging wife all day.
