GRP is the most poular material for hull construction today because of its versatile use and its pleasant, shiny appearance. Usually the gelcoat begins to loose its luster and shine after two or three years; so that the topsides in particular become chalky or crazed. When this happens, it is about time to start repainting. The gelcoat should be degreased thoroughly with Transocean Gelclean to eliminate traces of wax, paraffin and other contaminants. High-pressure wash with fresh water and allow thorough drying. Disc abrade to an even, matte finish. Remove dust and debris prior to painting. |
