Unfortunate circumstance when the boat was new; hull was improperly prep'd, apparently mpld release wax wasn't completely removed.
Light sand-blasting has removed most paint in those areas where initial paint and skip-sand never stuck. The other areas have a substantial amount of paint where it initially adhered well.
I'm inclined to use interlux interprotect 2000 at this point but I do not know if it can be overcoated on remaing hard epoxy that is left on the hull.
Is it necessary to remove all the paint with 299E or sanding before interprotect is applied.
Alternatively I'm considering just using two good coats of hard epoxy and switch over to ablative next year.
Inputs will be greatly appreciated.
I'm also uncertain if I need to use YMA601 to remove some mold release wax if it is still present. If not, maybe was down with an interlux solvent or denatured alcohol?
