Abstract
Blisters occur when small quantities of water in form of vapour penetrate a laminate, usually within a marine environment. This reaction generates an internal pressure that causes degradation in Gel-Coating. Then, defects are made evident in the form of blisters. This study looks into the influence of this effect on different manufacturing process defects in gel-coat protected laminates utilized in marine environments
