'81 SN, the grayish lumpy bilge finish....cosmetic only? Or structural? This one shows a lot of cracking and peeling, evidence of saturation? Thanks much ------------- 1964 Dunphy X-55 "One 'N Dun" 'I measured twice, cut three times, and it's still too short!" |

Cosmetic Grind it off and coat with the product of your choice. 3M 24 grit 4” grinding disc work well. |

Brian, I agree with Paul that the coating is cosmetic but, if it's cracking and peeling then I would suspect things below it are not in good condition. ------------- /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 < |

If on the stringers/ or over a wooden reinforcement pad, if on the hull itself I would worry less, sometimes they just put on the gel pretty thick to cover fiberglass imperfections and it is then prone to cracking. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1477 - 1983 Ski Nautique 2001 1967 Mustang 302 "Decoy" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cO5MkcBXBBs - Holeshot Video |
