This is how I did my Cherub mast (from an old RS600) and I cannot say how nasty it was beforehand...it had actually sat in the bottom of the lake for a few months and was totally unrecognisable as carbon! Scraped the crap off with a paint scraper, rubbed down with wet and dry (carfeully!) and cleaned any residue off with SP Solvent C (and washed down thouroughly with water afterwards). For varnish, use International Perfection 2 pack, it has about 7 times the UV resistance of a single pack varnish and is very tough. Looks the D's B's too, what do you think??

I'd be using SP systems Ultravar 2000 two pack for the mast. And they
have a range of thinners that will get rid if what ever you need it to. go here:http://www.spsystems.com |

It depends on how old the nail varnish remover is.

Evostik make a glue remover (little red tins in your local hardware store) which gets sail number glue off, so I would imagine it would do progrip glue too. Doesn't damage gelcoat, but will remove spray paint. BTW, nail varnish remover is cellulose thinners, not acetone. |

Varnish your mast with a single pack polyurathane varnish (international Goldspar I think is best). Put it on very thin otherwise it will take ages to go off. Your mast will look like new. Rick |

Oh thanks for the advice about petrol. I thought it would be less damaging than acetone. I would have thought acetone was about the very worse thing you could put on glassfibre. Acetone = smells like pear drops = nail varnish remover |
