Had a couple of bubbles on the aft cabin bulkhead, a little exploratory poking lead to quite a big hole.

Sometimes its easier to start again.

Wow, that is quite a nasty surprise, I applaud your will power and knowledge to tackle this job yourself. It looks like your boat is somewhere inside, is that correct ? At least that makes work a bit easier, no fear of rain.
 
Guess you will be breaking out the fiberglass and epoxy…. Good luck.
 
Pretty much what I found all over my boat.

The bottom tuned into a nightmare with grinding, a huge section of deep reglassing, whole bottom glassing and barrier coat. Good news, not a new blister in 15 years.

Goes to show people, a few blisters might be just that, or just the beginning.....:peace:
