The older I get (going to be 70 in Oct) the less I like being cold. I don't mind the heat at all but my arthritic joints hurt in the cold. Clammer 03-22-2017, 01:52 PM GO FIGURE . I & my body can,t handle the heat ><missed a lot of days last summer due to the heat ><>< :mad: nightfighter 03-22-2017, 05:28 PM Paul, don't do the polyglo...... As I understand it, polyglo breaks down just like a poly or varnish. Looks great initially but is a real PITA to strip after the UV has its way with it. wdmso 03-23-2017, 04:06 AM Getting itchy too... last project for the winter is an acrylic "doghouse".

Paul do you usually use the polyglo? I used it once on my seacraft and looked good initially wore off quick, then kind of looked patchy. didnt like it. Went back to the fail proof compound and wax.

Jay, I used it for the first time last year and liked it. There are a couple of rules. First, the hull needs to be warm. I've read 55 degrees and 70 degrees. 2, you need to use the PolyPrep to take off the old wax and dirt. Otherwise you just end up with shiny dirt. 3, the big trick is more than one coat. I did 3 and it was beautiful. I know guys who have done 8! Unlike wax, PolyGlo fills in the minute scratches in the gel coat. If you Google PolyGlo there are a number of sites that talk about the application and specifically the sagging problem. bassballer 03-24-2017, 08:24 AM Jay, I used it for the first time last year and liked it.
