[Rhodes22-list] Favorite cruising areas KY Lake

[anima13]

Bill,
this guy who owned my present boat did the deck and cockpit because
he is large and relatively immobile because of it. He did not keep it up,
which I
have learned is the key to polyglo. He did not tell me there was polyglo on
the
topside. Thus two years after his application, the boat had these blackened
drips all over. I had tons of projects to do and one day was just scrubbing
at a
spot and could NOT remove it with colonite cleaner or 3M. When it came time
to clean
an area where we were replacing teak, it dawned on us to use the polyglo
remover and
wallah! it came clean. My racing pal and I are a wonderful team when it
comes to making
old boat look fantastic and we are religious buffers and compounders.
Man, though, it was SO hard to get that blackened stuff off.
I did use polyglo on the hull, for I knew I could not buff that huge hull
twice a year by
myself. I have put another layer of polyglo on already (I borrow a
neighbor's hard dinghy)
 and it looks quite presentable, though I
suspect i will pull the boat and take it all off this winter, then suffer
and do it the old fashioned
compound-buffer way.
Boat projects keep me going in the winter!
Anne

Anne,

What's the word on Poly Glo?
