If you don't have blisters, don't mess with it. Don't know why you
were checking moisture levels, but it's pretty hard to do accurately.
Moisture meters are very finicky, and you need to have the boat out of
the water awhile before you can even attempt to measure it.

How did you determine "high" level of moisture? As others have
suggested, this is a relative and sometimes subjective value - all
glass has moisture to a certain extent.

Why is this a problem for you. What is the nature of the repair,
painting or problem that led you to do a moisture check? Did you use
a good quality meter? Did you read the measurement correctly?

I don't mean to offend, but it takes a real glass expert to tell
exactly the nature of the problem. Perhaps you might want to talk to
a glass repair person first before making a determination of too much
moisture.
