![]() Ghosting on boat after removing letters
Here's a common issue and that's the ghosting left in the hull after your remove stickers, graphics or lettering. ![]() ![]() About the only thing you can do to try to remove the ghosting is to either, Compound the hull using an aggressive cutting compound with a wool pad on a rotary buffer. Wet sand the area and then compound out your sanding marks using an aggressive cutting compound and a wool pad on a rotary buffer. Sad to say, all to often you'll always be able to see the tale-tale sign of ghosting if you know where to look. ![]()
