For less severe imperfections a hairdryer will work on some colours.

Thats all right then. Im not to sure that I will be getting out the heat gun on the boat as to me that has potential to go very very wrong.

Well it takes 4 and a half stone to right the boat from a capsize so i'd say thats a pretty good place to start. |

Some colours achieve better results than others. The yellow, grey, light blue
decks are the most difficult to get back their colours whilst the red, blue and purple decks get a better result. As was said previously, it is purely an aesthetic appearance and mainly parental pride. All that really matters is that it has no leaks and the fittings are in good condition.

you only do it lightly but it changes the properties of the deck surface. Then again the aesthetics shouldn't really matter if its a first boat; more a case of parental pride
