Coating a centreboard with fiberglass resin...
I am renovating a small sailboat (catboat type). I have to build a
centreboard for it so the plan is to shape a 3' X 1' X 3/4'' board and put a protective coating on it. Would marine quality paint good enough to provide a protective coating or should I really paint the thing and then apply resin on it? If resin is the only decent solution, is there a type that can simply be applied with a paint brush rather than having to deal with the fiberglass cloth and go through all the complicated process of applying it? Just for a contextual refernce this is just a tiny 11' sailboat which will be used primarily just to play around at our cabin when the wind picks up. Probably won't be in the water more than 10 times per summer. Andre |
