[Boatanchors] MFP (was BC-342

[J. Forster]

Todd,

At a guess, that was a fluke and the coating was not well adhered.

As to water and soap, if there are minor defects in the coating, the
water, with surface tension lowered by the soap, will get under the
coating and lift it in bubbles.  Think rust propagating under paint.

FWIW,
