Re: How to wetsand, cut and buff a gel-coat boat
Here's some shots of the products we used...
Marine 31 Products Flex PE 14 Rotary Buffer & Flex 3401 Forced Rotation and Forced Oscillation Polisher Rupes TA50 Mini Sander (used as a Mini Polisher) Porter Cable 7424XP Rupes for Machine Damp Sanding And to machine sand the black gel-coat hull, we used the Rupes 5" #3000 grit discs, 5" Rupes Interface Pads and the Rupes Duetto. The Rupes Duetto 12mm Orbital Polisher or Orbital Sander Close-up pictures of the new Rupes Duetto 12mm Orbital Polisher I think this is the the first boat machine sanded using the Rupes Duetto and Rupes sanding discs in the United States? And documented? I love doing firsts in the industry...

Re: How to wetsand, cut and buff a gel-coat boat
Mike,
In the photo's of the guys working on the Eisenglass it appears they may have used more than one type of pad. Do you recall which pad(s) were used and what product you used on the Eisenglass? Whatever it was it seemed to do a very nice job cleaning/clearing up and restoring the clarity of the Eisenglass.

Very nice write up Mike, liked the polishing of the plastic glass, never thought about doing that.
