[C38] Strut Blister

[Steve Smolinske]

After crawling into an area smaller than my frame and laying in a puddle of water to remove the steering and drop the rudder I then started working on the bottom.   After some sanding near the strut I found a wet spot directly above the strut, needless to say I was surprised after barrier coating the bottom last year, then it dawned on me that it was in the same area as the puddle I was laying in.   Im going on the assumption that its not an osmotic blister as It was not raised from the outside, just wet inside, that water cant be good sitting in the recess all year long
 
Has anyone else seen this and any comments on why its not a good idea to fill the area with foam and glass over the top so water runs into bilge?  Thanks.
