Default Re: How to wetsand, cut and buff a gel-coat boat

Here's some shots of the products we used...

Marine 31 Products





Flex PE 14 Rotary Buffer & Flex 3401 Forced Rotation and Forced Oscillation Polisher





Rupes TA50 Mini Sander (used as a Mini Polisher)













Porter Cable 7424XP











Rupes for Machine Damp Sanding
And to machine sand the black gel-coat hull, we used the Rupes 5" #3000 grit discs, 5" Rupes Interface Pads and the Rupes Duetto.








The Rupes Duetto 12mm Orbital Polisher or Orbital Sander



Close-up pictures of the new Rupes Duetto 12mm Orbital Polisher



I think this is the the first boat machine sanded using the Rupes Duetto and Rupes sanding discs in the United States? And documented?


I love doing firsts in the industry...
