💧 2. The Truth About Osmosis and the Epoxy Trap
🗣️ The Myth: "Osmosis blisters are cosmetic. Grinding and applying epoxy over winter is enough."
⚙️ The Technical Reality:
Blisters are not the disease; they are the final symptom of hydrolysis—an active chemical breakdown where water turns the laminate matrix into corrosive acid.
⚠️ The Hidden Risks:
Grinding blisters and sealing the hull with epoxy traps the active moisture and acid inside. You accelerate the degradation, causing the hull to rot from the inside out.
🔬 The Evidence Method (NDT & Analys):
We utilize aerospace-grade NDT equipment, including capacitive moisture meters and thermography (FLIR), to map the exact depth of moisture ingress on a cellular level.
⚖️ The Chairman's Verdict:
No coating should ever be applied without advanced diagnostics. We dictate the absolute drying protocols before any reconstruction is permitted.
➡️ Never guess on structural integrity:
