Floridaze repairs con't

Chad,
   When prepping the inside of your 16 for paint, unless there is a delamination problem, thick paint, or you just want to calm down the texture you don't need to use a mechanical sander for adhesion. You can use a scuff pad called a scotchbrite. It is a 3M product although other companies produce it as well. They come in colors for how abrasive they are. A red scotchbrite would be best for what you are doing.

   These are not to be confused with scotchbrite kitchen scrubbers as some people think. I do believe you can obtain these at Home Depot like places and hardware stored as well. If you can't find them there check your phone book in the automotive section for a Auto Body paint jobber (or supply). They will have them for sure and also help you with any questions you may have on the refinishing subject. They usually are friendly people.

   Hope this may help.

Thank you for the info,  the paint is cracked and peeling in some spots and a scotchbrite pad would probably work perfectly at getting rid of the paint that is already starting to come off.  I will check with the hardware store on the way home today.

And so this little Com-Pac is off and on its next adventure with its new owner.
She is on her way up to New England where I'm sure she will be enjoyed.

Godspeed and Fairwinds Andy and I look forward to hearing about your sailing adventures in NH.

Sorry guys it seems the server that I hosted a good portion of the pics has gone belly up. I'm working on getting them back up as soon as possible.
