What is the best way to prolong gelcoat life?
I have a friend that says that waxing, polishing is only good
for th
pilot, does almost nothing for the gelcoat.
I really don't know much about this issue.
Would it make sense to cut a bit off like .002 every once in a
while t
stop/prevent any crazing? Then wax it?
Does Gelcoat off gas over time and then start going bad?
Seeing how very little time most ships are out in the sun, a lot
of the
look rough. Sailboats sit outside 24/7 and can look good for
many years
Whats up? Should I be parking my LS3a in a Marina?
Do nothing or try and work on the gelcoat to attempt to get
the longes
life out of it; or something in between?
If Gelcoat does off gas, and kind of dries out and
cracks,would it mak
sense during the winter lay up to cover the gelcoat with a coat
of wax, t
seal it, and then buff it off come spring?
