    Question Old Fiberglass question?


    I have an old (1956) Lone Star fiberglass boat. The exterior is in good shape but the interior coating is flaking off. If you run your hand across it, a sand like substance comes off. I was wondering if anyone had any idea for sealing the inside. I didn't know if i could just coat it with some heavy primer or what. Thank you for any help.

    i would coat it with glass resin . had a fiberglass lawn mower body that did that . it would itch you real bad . i coated it with glas resin . it worked good . paint or primer might flake . papasage

    did you use the resin that you find in the auto body section at any parts store?
