Re-applying Epoxy - how often?

[Piers]

Really interesting stuff. Our boat was, we understand, epoxied from new but I had no idea that it should be checked etc. She is out of the water now so I may check the moisture levels before she goes back in.

Hi Greg2. In case it helps, I'm told there are differing types of meter that measure moisture depending on what they have to penetrate to reach through the gel coat. And there my knowledge ends, but your surveyor should know which to use.

Thank Piers, that is very helpful. Funnily enough I was in contact with a very experienced surveyor at the weekend so I'll have a chat with him to see what he advises.

No probs. I've mentioned my surveyor above (Guy Nicholls of Solent Marine Surveys - no connection, just a very satisfied customer). He's spent years specialising in GRP and its various materials development.
