Part way through repainting the bottom of the hull with the original paint I thought I should make a test to be sure that the blistering would not reoccur when in contact with water.
I therefore painted the lower drop board and left it outside in all weathers for a while to see what happened.
To my horror it appeared to blister again, with tiny pinhead blisters.
I sent it to the paint manufacturers for examination, and never heard from them again!
With hindsight I think the blisters may have simply been dust particles, but I was taking no chances and switched to Epifanes paint.
Consequently I needed a new lower drop board, so I found a piece of scrap marine ply and marked up a board using the pattern.
Here I am cutting out the new board.
This will get two or three coats of clear resin to seal it, and will then be painted at some point.
