: Depends on what you want the end result to be. I'm assuming this is
: the NDK Explorer? If it is the orriginal surface is gelcoat and
: since you've sanded on the surface wonder what you expect do do
: with the gelcoat.

There is a lot you can do with the gelcoat on NDK and older VCP boats, as it's pretty thick. You can see some options in my "Gelcoat Repair and Restoration" album at: http://community.webshots.com/user/brian_nystrom-reg The restoration pics are on page 2. If Dan hasn't started sanding around the recesses yet, perhaps he might want to try a variation of my "two-tone" approach.
