When I finally got fed up with Poly-Glow I tried Poly-prep to remove it to no avail. Good old Easy Off oven cleaner did a great job. Spray it on watch foam turn yellow hose it off. Be careful though it is caustic and can cause a nasty burn.

Usually you need to dilute it to get the Future or what other floor polish you have been using off, but if you are brave (we had a bad spot) you can clean it off using the stripper undiluted. Be careful, it is pretty nasty stuff.

I am more concerned about performance than cosmetics so I will put money into sails and equipment long before I will repaint the hull.

It was an insurance job so I was looking at having the repairs done by a professional. When they started to sand down the the damage area the sand- paper was gumming and they didn't understand why. I told them that I used Poli-Glow and they think that it could have been a chemical reaction that caused that or the original gel coat never cure properly. No paint would aver stick on the boat in the condition it was in and it turn out the only next option was to re-gel coat the boat. We have old Antique boats that oxidize with time and one day or another you will need to re-paint your boat.

Awlcraft can be more easily repaired and blended than Awlgrip. Although it can be done, painters that can successfully blend Awlgrip are rare. Dennis C.

Either way, I am not sure what to do this spring. I can either strip the Poli-glow and use Awlcare or keep using Poli-glow. Added to this is the fact that the Awlgrip got badly scratched/scuffed by an unpadded dock last fall (long story). It appears that with Awlgrip, there is nothing you can do except repaint and I am not ready to add that to my boat budget this year. All of this makes me less than enthused by my first Awlgrip experience.

With Awlgrip all you really need to do is wash it down well and then if you want a little more do 1 coat of Awlcare, which is really easy to apply as well…should least 20+years at least barring scratches and dings ------------------------------------------------------------------------ From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of David Knecht Sent: April 2, 2014 10:57 AM To: CnC CnC discussion list Subject: Re: Stus-List Poli-Glow Not realizing that my new boat had Awlgrip, I put Poli-glow on it last spring before launching. It looked great (as usual) so I have no idea why it is “not recommended”.
