PoliGlow
At the Toronto Boat Show, 17 Jan, I found the following "new product" and
reasonable in cost! PoliGlow gives "old fiberglass" again the new "wet look". It's not a wax. PoliGlow according to their brochure rates #1 with Practical Sailor and Powerboat Reports. It was first produced in Miami, FL in 1991. www.poliglow.ca Any comments and/or experiences from the real world? -- c ya Wim www.cruising.ca/thousand/f-index.html |

PoliGlow
I applied Poliglow to our J/40 (blue hull, in great shape) last month.
It was a lot of work applying five coats to the hull with the boat in the water. The result was worth it, though after only a month it's impossible to predict how it will hold up. I liked the look so well I also applied it to some areas around the cockpit and the foredeck. It really looks good there also. Make sure you do a thorough cleaning using their Poliprep, else you will have dirt preserved under the Poliglow and it will be very visible. I found their basic kit had more than enough of the glow and prep to handle a 40 foot sloop. Dave "Wim" wrote in message ...

Bill. I have a Poliglow kit in my closet..bought it last year. I didn't use it
because a few people at my yard said it was a disaster. It flaked off a few boats that it was applied to and was tough to remove. I got scared off and never used my kit. Any idea what may have happened? Should I give it a try? RB |

consistant reports are nobody uses Poliglow a second time.

I'll second that a second time.
If you put it on, expect to have your boat in a year or two to look like its has Yaws - a disasterous skin disease. .... and then be prepared to soak the boat in acetone and scrub like hell to remove what remains. Yup, you use it only once. In article , JAXAshby wrote: consistant reports are nobody uses Poliglow a second time. Bill. I have a Poliglow kit in my closet..bought it last year.
