: Friend of mine was just given a small fiberglass motor boat and he asked me
: if anything could be done to recoat it as the glass was splintering on the
: surface in places. If you rubbed it with your hand hard you can get small
: slivers he said. Perhaps some finish coating could be applied? Any help
: appreciated.
: Thanks,

get yourself a disc sander. cover EVERY square inch of your skin, use ear eye and lung protection, sand it smooth,then give it new gell coat, probably polyester resin. throw away your cloths, take the longest shower of your life, then scratch and itch for the next week.
