This problem I have happened 5+ yrs years ago? It was new on the market. Lot of guys have used lots of it with no problems. I have to guess I got a bad batch. I know I mixed it properly and it seemed to get hard properly as it was easy to sand. Covered it with 545 epoxy. I have done hundreds of boats over the years and never had a problem. Contacted adtech and got told to pound sand. Just frustrating to do a 3 thousand dollar paint job and have it ruined by a supposed superior product. I can tell you, the sales guy who talked into using it got an ear full.

Yeah that does really suck how long did it take for the blisters to appear? I tried to do a search regarding blisters and p 77 and turned up with nothing so that kind of gives me a little better feeling about using it at least it's not a widespread issue that I can tell at least. The batch that I get is only a month old so it's really brand new hopefully I don't have that issue.

They didn't start appearing for about a year. They have continued to appear since and are now bad. I have opened up a few that are hidden and the adtech seems crumbly and has failed. The primer and paint is still stuck to the top surface of the adtech but the adtech has let go of the gell and glass under it. Primer is adhered well to the whole deck. Really nice Imron paint job with clear over it with a defect everywhere I used the 77. I have pics of the spots I used the 77 and they match up to where the blisters are. Hopefully can just grind out the bad areas, repair and repaint with no more spots appearing. I don't anticipate you having any problems and would not say stop and don't use it. Harden accurately and mix well....

It deteriorated and lost adhesion with the substrate to describe it best.

So I have a question, I was working on the cap today for a little, the splashwell we redid , the d cell h80 seems to have darkened from a fresh sheet, is this a bad sign or nothing to worry about? It may have gotten wet or been exposed to the sun for a short. Of time it does not feel brittle or crumbly. I'm just wondering that if it got wet will it change colors? Or is it just from being glassed over? Will this hurt adhesion of fresh glass and or fairing compound? I have attached a picture of a fresh cut piece compared to the splash well that was done about four months ago. It's hard to tell if under the glass is the same color or not but the raw edge is definitely darker.

No worries! Anyway ill be working on the boat today a good amount, been doing two body parts at the gym every day to free up two days for an extra few hours. I got 90% of the cap sanded, looks like there is going to be a lot of work with filling and sanding. if you look into the sun you can see about a million and a half dimples in the front, my guess due to the glass being so thin, Glad we cored it! Ill probably have to drag filler over the whole front and sand and repeat until its close then hope primer fills the rest. On a side note, i got the engine running again, after i took it apart to mod the lower unit it wasn't pumping water. I dropped the LU and reinstalled it, guess i didn't have the key way on the water pump lined up right, ran on the hose last nite for 10 mins, runs like a champ hooked up the water pressure guage to test it 2 psi at idle at trolling speed about 4, and the higher rpm the higher it goes had it to about 12 psi so works well.
