Re: Stus-List Refinishing companionway steps

You can minimize the air bubbles in epoxy coatings by applying to a warm surface and letting it cool with the epoxy on it, so the epoxy is drawn in to the surface instead of having the surface outgassing. A warming surface will generate small bubbles. Also, flaming the epoxy with just a light

If you can't  close your through-hulls it is time for a haul out to fix them.   When you haul out, replace the hoses as they will allow growth.  Vinegar down the scuppers once a month will help reduce the growth but nothing will stop it. When you replace the ball valves,  you must operate them
