Re: Knocking Down Orange Peel
 

My technique is Much Easier than all stated above. After I had some one else roll the bottom of my hull with gel coat for me. Then I started using my boat again and think about all the time and work it would take to sand the bottom of my hull which I personally HATE working above my head, then the rubbing compound and waxing process. I Learned To Like It Just The Way It Is with the orange peel, plus if I get any nicks or damage I just need to pull out the roller and go over those arrears again.

I totally understand your comment about leaving it alone. Afterall I've lived with it for a year and other than the fact that the low areas hold dirt and stains, I wouldn't be thinking of making it better. I'm now thinking that if I do a lousy sanding job , I could always call Tom at Fabulon and pick up some more Signature finish. Rich
