Hi All,

I have had a little Gheenoe (sort of a canoe but wider flatter and more
stable) for about 10 years or so and I've always had a problem with the
fiberglass interior. It's a rough fiberglass that gets in your skin.
What would be the best thing to seal it with? Some sort of clearcoat? I
don't want it to become slippery but I'm tired of picking fiberglass out
of my skin. I thought about a spray in bed liner but I don't know if
that will even work and it would probably be expensive.

TIA

Actually, a roll on type of bedliner or epoxy paint that you can build up a
good layer would probably work good. Just use a light color so it does not
get so hot.

Other than that - I would glue in some carpet but if it is used for
fishing - carpet gets nasty and is a lot harder to clean than just washing
out the boat w/ a hose.

If it were mine, I'd sand down the rough spots and then coat it with
epoxy.

Agreed.

Thanks for the answers. I'll look into the epoxy or maybe the DIY bed liner.

Sand down the rough spots and then paint it with an epoxy paint, similar to
the paint offered at http://www.yachtpaint.com/usa/

I have to agree with Gould on this one.

Sand it, and spray hairspray on it.
