Hey Hoot or Bill... Nice lookin glass trailers! I think you have glass work down pat. Do you have molds for all that? Dang... you could crank some out and make some nice money. Those are much better built than the "L'il Guys" they are selling a lot of these daze... What part of the country are you in?

Hey... stjohn... Compared to the Honda VTX forum I also frequent, this one is incredibly civilized and polite... yea!

Over at VTXOA.com we have to suffer through all kinds of "trolls" and other assorted whackos. I guess it comes with success? That forum has over 30,000 members now!
Still, by and large, a great bunch of guys over there too. I guess it all just keeps life interesting tho...

On edit: Is this for your boat, Gage? If so the first thing is to see if a polish won't bring it up. If it's really bad, you might also sand it, starting at, say, 800 grit, before polishing.

If you're thinking of gelcoat as an alternative to paint, it's the hard way to go and a lot of little detail (non-slip deck surface?) would be completely lost.

Yep, that's what I'm asking about. Got a lot of the paint scraped off. Still a lot more to scrape and sand. Just looking at my options. Because of all the spider webbing I'm finding, I'm going to need something to fill. Guess I'll use some filler prime, sand and then paint.



Thanks for the info Andrew, have a good day.

Gage I've always like 2 styles of old boats that one is one of them(the other is a wood criss craft)sure would like to see some pics when you get done.

Are you saying I'm stupid? You know, you can be a real jerk some times.

Have a good day.

Just stirring the pot a little.
