NOTICE
If using a power buffer, use a  low RPM buffer
with light pressure.  Keep the pad wet and the
buffer moving at all times to prevent heat build
up.
Striking docks, other boats, or submerged ob-
jects could create a very hazardous situation or
severely damage the fiberglass.   In the event
an object is struck below or near the waterline,
proceed directly and cautiously to the  nearest
service facility  and remove the  boat from the
water.  Closely inspect the hull for damage.  If
the outer fiberglass  laminate was penetrated,
repairs must be made prior to re-launch.
NOTICE
When sanding, DO  NOT use a power  or belt
sander to  prevent gouges,  uneven areas,  or
other damage. For best results, block sand the
gel coat.
C.   Stains
Occasionally, blisters, crazing, scratches, or damage to
the fiberglass can occur. Repairs may be necessary to
correct the problem.
Stains can appear anywhere on the exterior of the boat
and may be a result of contact with tar, plant sap, leaves,
rust from  metal fittings, and  other materials.   Surface
stains may be  removed with hand  dishwashing soap,
mild cleansers, or some household detergents. DO NOT
use chlorine or ammonia products. These products can
affect the color of gel coat. Commercial car washes use
strong cleaners and should be avoided.
A.   Scratches
Scratches occur during normal use. Below is a step by
step procedure to repair scratches.
