blisters in topsides paint

Post by Paulus »

Not sure what brand paint it is, but I have a navy blue pained hull that was tarped over for the winter - is it possible that a tight tarp in spots could have caused the paint to develop small, liquid filled blisters?

Yes. See point #7 in the "Do Not" list of the Awlgrip Maintenance Guide.
