You've got a problem.

I had to deal with this once, due to fuel expansion, and it was a bitch.
Then ONLY way I could get the stuff off was using a professional grade
compound. Fortunately, they build and repair boats where I dry store and
they just gave me a small quantity. I think it only comes in the gallon size
and that is pretty pricey.

It is a VERY aggressive compound, so be careful. I used a real power buffer
to accomplish the job, so if you try to use a higher speed wheel, be VERY
careful of burning the gelcoat. Actually, this stuff cuts fast enough to use
by hand.

Not sure what you have, but I had to touch up the bottom paint, too.


i'll give the fiberglass stain remover a chance...even if it lightens
it a bit it should be OK
