As the pround new owner of an E36C I have a few questions for this community of boatowners.
I have elected to have her bottom sandblasted due to the number of blisters I discovered after hauling her.
I would like to know what the best way to proceed is. She is east of San Francisco and the weather is dry and temperate. I am planning to do as much of the work as possible but I live and Work quite a distance away (6hrs), so i need to work efficiently.
I have been told that West System is the answer, there is a 45' Swan in the yard which was blasted and is having its entire bottom skim coated with 400 I think. I know the blast will make the gel-coat more pourious and I am wondering if i need to skim coat the entire hull as well. If so sanding her fair will be a big job.
