Re: Crushed glass for taking bottom to gelcoat

I just had glass beads used on my underwater metal and it did an unbeliievable good job.in Riveria Beach, Florida.

I have a '78 Hatteras and they are famous for blisters. Two years I hauled out had all the blisters opened or ground out.I left on the hard for 3 months. occasionally they used a heeat gun to speed it up.. Repaired them, put on 2 barrier coates of SEA HAWK brand.. 2 coats of botttom paint. This haulout no isssues.
