Happy Labor Day my boating friends!
So a few years ago I replaced an entire floor and stringers and transom in a 17ft tri hull outboard powered boat. When doing the floor I encountered as the resin over the fiberglass deck cured, there was a waxy substance I had to sand and chemically remove before deck paint went on. I’m getting ready to perform this chore again but I’m having trouble finding info on this subject again. It’s been 7 years since my last turn at the sealing a floor. My goal is to try a color matched truck bed liner (tan) for the deck on my 14ft runabout. Since the boat top and hull are separated - I can get right in there and spray after scuffing up the deck. Is the waxy “cream” of the old style resins no longer an issue? I may not be describing it properly but 7years ago- I knew everything there was to know about resin. Today- not so much.
Thanks!
