Does anyone know of someone in North Carolina or the

in the above area.

Matt,

Where are you in NC? I'm in NC. I'm no expert, but I can tell you
what needs to be stripped down and refinished. I tell myself that
every time I open my trailer and look at my glider...

And yes, Paul Gaines knows a thing or two about gel coat. He's
probably the closest professional aircraft gel coat man around this
area.
