Hello!
I’m not a frequent user of the forums so sorry if I’m doing something wrong.
I have a ‘73 Laser in blue. It’s in OK overall condition, no leaks, mast step holds water, no major dents. However, the gelcoat is worn and faded, and it has tons of scratches. How does mixing new gelcoat to be the right color work, and is it difficult? Should I sand the hull with 1500 then 2000 grit sandpaper? Should I sand off the CF numbers on the hull?
Also, how do you wash the deck? I’ve pressure washed it twice and it still looks stained and dirty. Also, if my sail number starts with a zero do I need to put the zero on the sail, or can it be 4 digits?
Thanks!
