Hello Paul.

to quote a phrase " What a mistakea to makea "

Mankster is absolutely correct ( see our previous posts ).

A full strip may be necessary,

ALWAYS, ALWAYS stick to the same chemical make up of the paint etc. Car paints are ok IF you find out what their chemical composition is and stick to it ie Acrylic with Acrylic primer etc.

I always wash my hulls down with warm soapy water and dry, then wipe with a degreasent solvent or similar and wear gloves when painting / handling etc stops the grease from our sticky mits contaminating the surface again after cleaning.

Bit of a case of bolting the stable door after the horse has bolted I know but at least next time ???

It will look weathered though in the pond as the paint flakes off.

Tell them its the hull flexing under compression from a deep dive !!!and thats why its chipping off ( bet some one will believe you )

Glad to see your still smilling though.
