Re: Another badly oxidized green Cobalt


The first time you post as a new user, it will shut you down if you make a bunch of posts (more than two or three, I think) before you've been approved, which usually takes a day. Just wanted you to know it's not intentional but is an automatic anti-spam tool measure we had to turn on due to all ...

Just a little more insight into the difference between wet sand and buffing 😉 This boat could have used some sanding, I concede that. Was it necessary? No, obviously. Will it last as long? No way to know but my guess is that it still looks green and ...

Re: Another badly oxidized green Cobalt



Strange that I keep getting banned from this site but, my posts get to stay up..

I checked your previous profile and it's not banned - please reach out to me with whatever problems/error messages you're getting, and I'll try to fix it.


I've heard that.. This is so odd. I promise, I'm not ...

Re: Hi AGAIN.. (banned twice for "spamming..?!")

I wish that were the case. "banned" twice for "spamming." With no way (even though there's an option shown to contact an admin) Nope, it goes nowhere if you're banned already.

Odd that you see the other accounts as operating.. If I try and log in, "banned"

As to the "spamming" I suppose leaving ...

I hate to say it but here it goes : Buffing correctly, is as effective as wetsanding. Drake doesn't know how to use compound. In 15 years, nobody has demonstrated a ...

Re: Another badly oxidized green Cobalt



Interesting to see him move on once the oxidation was gone despite there still being some pretty obvious dark spots - I wonder if/how he addresses those separately?


The spider poop stains will remain deep in the gelcoat for a few days/weeks but, once you've removed the source of the stain ...

Re: Which Ceramic or graphene - personal experiences?

I like Ceramics fine, on new gelcoat or on a metallic or painted surface. Gelcoat never cures, it's pores grow constantly and let's be honest, if you're thinking about using a ceramic it's because you feel like it'll reduce the maintenance and upkeep costs. Unless your boat has at least 2 decks it ...

Hi AGAIN.. (banned twice for "spamming..?!")

Hi. I'm local_boydidgood on youtube. (just saying that to lend credit to why I'm here. I help people with their gelcoat, have since 2011 there.

I was asked here by members 3 times. This is my last attempt to help here.

I was recently banned and with no way after that to appeal and send a message ...
