It's a filler. Fine sanding and buffing *might* give you a satin finish at best. Don't expect a high gloss that paint or gelcoat can achieve.

Agree with Mxmkr.Can marine tech be polished out or do you have to paint it. Have used it on some areas of my hull and have sand down so now do I buff out or look at gel coat top layer? Thanks
I found this FAQ from Marine Tex - http://marinetex.com/faq/
"Two years in a closed container at moderate temperatures."
Sunfish must be weighed one at a time.My scale must be off as our sunfish calculated to 391 lbs with waterline stains up to the deck!
Watching your posts with great interest as i have just started a simaliar project.
Thanks for the Feedback, L&VW. Come on folks cast your vote!So what wood for backer blocks? I have on hand: heartwood eastern red cedar, hard white oak, pressure treated pine, composite deck boards.
Please cast your vote among these four for our beach banger project, as it seems to be classified.
Aluminum doesn't take kindly to over-strong forces of "repair". The spars can be expected to take a natural bend in strong winds. Sometimes, an extreme bend!I don’t like the forked-tree or kneel-on methods – that may work for you. I set-up a padded fulcrum at the bend and pressed the pipe ends down to the floor opposite the bend. Then I raised the fulcrum incrementally until the pipe started to bend. I felt like I could creep up on a state of plastic deformation more gradually without going past the point of no return. It is improved, but not perfect. I felt like we started chasing the bend a little, like it is now bent where it was not before. Probably I don’t really understand the mechanics of bending a pipe like that. Is this thing going to work?
I think your "Lag bolt" is a "Carriage bolt".
Yes is the way.
With the bend you have newly created, you may want to rotate the gooseneck and/or end-caps to accommodate your present results.
Stickers first. Sand em or Leave em. We usually sand off the side stickers with 220 grit, light pressure. We like to leave the cockpit sticker, tape it off and spray the cockpit with RustOleum - your favorite color - keeping in mind what your color palette is on the hull and most importantly the sail colors you plan to use. We leave the cockpit sticker as tribute to the original boat
I’d consider a good washing, wet sanding and waxing rather than repainting. You’d be surprised what you’ll find with a little elbow grease.

You have a Folboat? Awesome! Would love to see a photo or two. Those are great examples of engineering.Although I have done this alone on my Folboat, a helper should be handy to probe for any one of the pre-drilled holes.

This is the OEM rudder pin and keeper chain. It was screwed to the deck on the starboard side of the horizontal hinge plate
