Hello to all the iboaters out there,
I was just wondering if anyone had any suggestions about adding glass to a hull that was originally done with a chopper gun. It's an '85 so I believe it's poly resin? I've searched and read through a lot of other posts and this is what I think I need to do, but looking for a littel reassurance.
My thought is to add a layer of CSM over the chopper, but how to prep first. I am guessing that I'll need to scuff up everything with some 36 or 40 grit first, clean with acetone, then lay down a thin layer of epoxy, add the csm, then a little more epoxy over it and work out the air bubbles with a roller.
Sound good, additional thoughts appreciated.
Happy boating!
