If pretty isn't important you could just roll resin over it and follow up with paint. Just be sure it is good and clean before you start, sand it *and wipe it down with acetone to open up the existing finish. Be sure you have a good respirator and gloves. This is nasty stuff Easy to repair. You need a two part epoxy-like paint. I use something called WR155 that is no lojnger available but anything similar should work. Roll it on thin. You may need about a quart. Sand her first with medium paper on your electric sander. |
