I finally got rid of the Celebrity, and got to go do some work on the emerald mist boat today. I decided to go ahead and re-finish it before the run on Rathbun. The boat is pretty, but the "checking" and light spots on the bow were bothering me, and there is a few "dings" in the hip's as well, so I took it off the trailer, got the rub rail off, bought a box of razor blades and got about half the clear coat scraped off, actually ... I believe it's "Plasti-Coat" how many of you remember that stuff ?? it come out in the 80's advertised to never need waxed or buffed, encouraging people to put it on new cars, trucks and boats, it's real flexible, not like automotive clear coat, or gelcoat, and it's about as thick as a business card, Anyway, I got most all the bow, and about half the starboard side scraped off, the top surface came right off, but it is still stuck real tight, that took some patience, not to get the razor blade ito the gel-coat.
