So much for that idea. Do you know who refinished your LS-3, Greg? I know of an
ASK-21 that lasted pretty well for about 8 or 9 years, that had been refinished
this way and left out all the time. Obviously, all the lose stuff must be
removed, but my thought was to leave the small cracks that didn't go all the
way down to the glass. By using a long air-board, the contouring would be
munimal, if say 50% of the old gel-coat was left.
