I stripped Corsair's bottom soon after I bought her. I decided to not barrier coat because if it was still dry (per survey the year prior) after 24 + years, my theory is she will survive another 24 years without the BS of applying barrier coats.

I have two questions for the list: 1. I have two quotes now- the higher uses walnut shells and the lower uses crushed recycled glass in water. Both claim gentle on the gelcoat and little followup prep needed for painting. Anyone have any comments or experience with the two technologies? 2. I had originally planned to barrier coat before bottom painting, but the last time this issue was discussed, it seemed that for a 1990 era C&C, it should not need barrier coating. That would dramatically reduce the amount of painting next spring if I don’t need to put on multiple barrier coats. Do people agree that it is not needed? Compromise of a few coats?
