F35 Ketch (UK) - Paint for floor panels.
Posted: Sun Feb 12, 2017 10:33 am
Hello,
Between the wooden floorboards and the joinery, there's a fawn-coloured 'composition' type material about 1/8" thick glued to the hull. After 30 years it's none too pretty. Some very expensive Treadmaster cleaner has improved it a bit, but it really needs to be painted. (Or replaced - ugh!)
I've seen photos of boats for sale on which these panels have clearly been painted. What works? What is the mystery material anyway? Does the painted finish out-live the sales period?
(Treadmaster paint is available at £55 per litre plus delivery - it's quite hard to find a single malt whisky that costs so much - but maybe the material isn't Treadmaster anyway.)
Thanks, Mike.
