Hi, Guys The *86 I am trying to get up and running has the Gel coat worn off on the nose from parking on the beach. Any good and easy suggestions ? I have a lot of heart lacking on talent.
Thanks Mike ------------- Lakedog55 |

Mike - Good & easy are usually mutually exclusive!
Best thing to do is to re-gel the area. You can even brush it on, but the finish will not be as good as spraying. Some guys put a keel protector on but that looks tacky to me. You can just paint it - even tackier. ------------- “Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.” Ben Franklin |

Mike,
Take a look at http://minicraft.com/ - Mini-Craft of Florida . They have a aerosol (rattle can) product that I've used several times on small jobs. One of them being on a stem/keel repair from a owner and his not caring about what happens to a hull when beaching. ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

Pete,
Icalled the guys at mini-craft, Asked about the aerosol and they said I would have to buy a pump and some other stuff, Maybe me and the salesman were on the wrong page, Do you have any more info on the product? Thanks Mike  ------------- Lakedog55 |

Mike,
The salesman was on the correct page. The pump is needed to get the catalyst into the can. The product is a true polester gel coat requiring the catalyst. This is not a paint in a aerosol can. ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |
