Hello PB,
My mostly original '77 Sleekcraft Kaui had a coat of clear put over the gelcoat back in the day.
From what I see the root beer metal flake and yellow gel are in really good shape under it all.
Our short seasons and lack of sun are pretty kind to gel and 'glass up here. Not sure why...
I tried so very hard to squeeze this in under the engine cover on my Sanger mini. I used it on initial break-in at the start up, but like I said it would not fit under.... My loss your gain, if you have the room for it. I'll let it all go for $400 plus the ride. (OBO) It's just been sitting in...
This filter will give you peace of mind every time you have your boat in the water. You visually look at the condition of your motor, be it water in the oil or metal particles from something going away, without taking anything apart or even pulling the boat out of the water. No tools are...
Does anyone know how to remove clear anodizing that has experience doing it. The only way I can get it off is sanding. Looking for a chemical way to remove or something easier than sanding.
Posted under wrong section,
Anybody ever used this product? My new boat has a severely warn gelcoat, feels like sandpaper. I want to get several mils of clear back on it so it shines again, any suggestions are much appreciated.

Just bought my next winter project and the gel is so badly worn I can feel the metal flake, I want to retain the factory gel with out applying an automotive clear. Anybody ever sprayed this or used this product...
Has any one ever been successful at repairing cracks in a clear resin over wood this was done by some one jumping across deck:(((((( when cold any help I would like to try something a little less invasive but may end up redoing entire deck include pics as best as possable, Thanks WildBill
I just bought a '01 Grady White for the family (and me). Previous owner used Collinite Fleetwax #885 and the hull looks great, but that stuff is murder to use. With the new technology polymer spray on stuff.... what do ya'll recommend to spray and wipe on my fiberglass to keep it shiny and...
Hey everyone, I'm in the process of re-clearcoating my 1976 wriedt jet. My dad and i did it about 15 years ago, but its that time again, and i just wanted to make sure i did everything correct. the clear will be put down over metal flake:
1) What grit sandpaper should i use to prep for the new...
First paint project, it's a base white with colored graphics. I went to clear and once I sprayed the first coat I noticed grease/smudge marks, patches of colored overspray on the white areas and a few tape lines became very noticeable. I looked over the whole boat before I sprayed and I thought...
looking for some ideas on how to strip automotive clear coat that is bubbling up and lifting off of the original gel coat on an older fiberglass boat i am restoring... wondering if there might be a chemical stripper available that won't damage the gel under the old clear, or am i going to end up...
Well, I HATE to have to get rid of this, BUT I just don't have the room under the engine cover or transom area since I put the batteries on the transom either. I bought this on the web site Clear View Filtration Home Page This the 4" assembly and the block adapter Part #200. It will also come...
Long time lurker, first time poster and resurrected jet boater from Frenchburg, KY. Thank you for having me on this forum. Just yesterday, I drug an ole '79 Condor Jet from a barn. All things considered, it's a good candidate for resto. The top "half" of the hull is completely void of gel...
