After awhile, those fiberglass antennas lose their outer coating and get
really nasty to handle without gloves. If you grab 'em barehanded, you get
a bunch of little fiberglass needles in your hands.

Is there any good stuff to recoat 'em with to tame 'em down a bit? They're
still good insofar as performance goes, just need a coating of some kind to
keep the fiberglass from shedding. Any ideas as to what product might work
best?

Gelcoat. Ask the boatyard you just paid a fortune to...(c;

Put on your gloves, grab a wad of steel wool and rub it down good. Should
come out smooth with all the glass slivers gone.
