Folks:

I have something on my hull that is peeling off. At first I thought it was Vertglas or Polyglass but I have tried everything to get it off (Ammonia, vinegar, paint remover, floor stripper, acetone,Polyprep) and nothing will touch it. Does anyone have any idea as to what this stuff might be?? It is very thin and looks like a layer of acrylic or polyurethane.

If I have to resort to wet sanding it off, what grit paper do ou recommend?

HELP!!!!!

Pictures would help, Newell, but it sounds like your, "looks like" asessment might be IT. I'd hold off with sanding it off. I'd suggest living with it rather than sanding. If sanding, then what?

Has it touched a Mac or Hunter? Might have caught something.
