What would cause crazed gelcoat...

Post by Commander-147 »

from the keel to the waterline? This is on a 1965 Pearson commander and the crazed gelcoat stops dead in it's tracks where the barrier coat applied by the previous owner stops just under the waterline stripe.

What would cause this????

Hi C147-

I asked the same question last year. Might want to take a peek at that discussion, as it might help you rest more easily in regards to your crazing.
