back late 70s we washed all down with acetone,maybe to remove wax?never new why but hands were always dry. Yes should of worn gloves,bit like boatbuilders of same period mixing epoxy ,now they have peeling skin.

 Yes you are correct.. acetone was readily available in 45 gal drums for washing down anything and everything..
Its ok occasionally , but longer term not a good idea.

Also back then 99% of all 'glass work was done in polyester resins not epoxy.
Epoxys stared to come in with the things like extruding and casting methods for things like  'glass step ladders. not boats caravans, where items where laid up.

Pjc,
I understand
When I was younger we were and I'm not exaggerating. We're manipulated or directed to do things with products we should not of.

It's life,
I handled asbestos and chemicals to scary to describe.
What I learnt was not too believe all my elders.

Some of me elders realy new stuff and helped me learn to understand problems and risks.
Took a while but still on board on planet earth.

Self preservation is a real absolute goal.]]> Wed, 24 Nov 2021 18:07:14 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=136225&PID=1819436&title=cleaning-product-roller-marks#1819436 <![CDATA[Cleaning product - roller marks : MATTOO wrote:Pic, forgot to...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=136225&PID=1819435&title=cleaning-product-roller-marks#1819435 Author: Pcj

Unless you have the right knowledge base, start light and work your way up.

Thanks.  Just seem to recall when I did a short stint at performance sailcraft,producing Lasers/hobbies ,back late 70s we washed all down with acetone,maybe to remove wax?never new why but hands were always dry.

Glad to hear on both counts.
Fantastic you enjoy your ship and take great pride in it.
I'm a great supporter of that attitude.

Enjoy.
I'm glad we all could help.]]> Wed, 24 Nov 2021 16:17:07 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=136225&PID=1819431&title=cleaning-product-roller-marks#1819431 <![CDATA[Cleaning product - roller marks : Cheers for the feedback guys -...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=136225&PID=1819399&title=cleaning-product-roller-marks#1819399 Author: Troutzilla

Cheers for the feedback guys - happy to report meths and some elbow grease did the trick Thumbs Up

Mattoo I thought of my previous Surtees as a tool but have to admit I'm way more attached to my glass boat. The elegant lines, rounded curves, quieter and softer ride all add up to a way different experience out on the water.

Acetone is what is used to clean up resins...thats not to clean resin.

Meths, IPA, phosphoric acid , eucalyptus oil all good to go.

Continuously cutting off to keep clean, you are thining out the protective gel coat layer.. not a good long term soln.
 If going that route.. easy way..
Bit 1200 wet in dry sand paper, rub till nearly all the mark gone, then a quick cut n polish.

 Long term would be fix the problem, maybe a different compound roller?

And at the end of the day, after using regularly and after time, you will not even bother.

Eucalyptus oil, cheap works exceptionally well, wont damage your gelcoat  and your boat will smell nice.

Your problem is an easy solve. If you want work there are safe methods to deal with it.
Stay away from those who suggest acetone or similar, there not in your corner.
You had a issue at some point in time with Acetone ,Mattoo??]]> Mon, 22 Nov 2021 17:21:15 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=136225&PID=1819353&title=cleaning-product-roller-marks#1819353 <![CDATA[Cleaning product - roller marks : Ok, you could ignore them.Only...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=136225&PID=1819352&title=cleaning-product-roller-marks#1819352 Author: MATTOO
