Elle,
I helped a friend Poliprep an Oday 222. His hull was white and his gelcoat
was in much better shape than mine. We spent hours prepping both boats and
then applied 5 or 6 coats. His boat looked great however mine did not. I
never tried again. I am not sure what went wrong. I know many others that
swear by the product. Maybe I should have given it another shot but I spent
hours and achieved poor results.
