: Don't need to repaint entire boat, but I have a few areas where paint has
: been scratched off and, in a couple of these areas, has a blistered
: appearence. What is the procedure for removing this without risking
: sanding through fiberglass, in order to repaint. Do you just use a very
: fine grained sandpaper, or do you use something other than sandpaper to
: remove older blistered paint?

: Thanks,

Hi David

I'd use a small cabinet scraper to go over the blistered area, an the scratches. The rest of the painted area will probably have to be sanded before repainting. Will save on loading up lots of sandpaper.
