Hi David,
I heard good things about dry ice and soda, Walnuts are supposed to be
good too. (Mine was done the old fashion way with an abrasive wheel.
The guy did a remarkable job, but you really have to know what you're
doing to avoid digging into the gelcoat)
As for barrier coating I was advised against it as well (Supposed to
trap moisture) and did not re-coat . I would go with the local
knowledge / recommendations as different waters / climates dictate
different approaches. I'm in fresh water witch is worse for osmosis.
