[C320-list] Bottom Prep question

[Kirk McCullough]

Allen, we changed botttom paint the problem dissappeared, once all the 
original paint came off. No further work was done. There are some bottom 
paints that will strip off other non-compatible paint. This was case with 
us, fortunately no expensive fix was required.

Jon

What you describe happened to us shortly after we got our boat. The old
paint came off easily, on the roller and once the new paint was on the old
paint underneath  released, flaking off the old and the new together. The
yard explained this as a bottom paint incompatibility. Do you know if you
are using a compatible bottom paint?
