[Rhodes22-list] Penetrol more additional comments

[cjlowe at sssnet.com]

I've tryed Penetrol twice,once on a  85' com-pac 16,in '03. The hull
looked great,the higher I went above the rub rail the more streaked and
less glossy it got. I did Country Rhodes in '04 (an '86 hull),most of
the hull looked real nice,but the transom had some darker spots near the
rubrail,and a little streaking.I tried a little on the topsides and
inside the gunnels,and it looked a lot worse than the transom so I
quit.Before I hit her with the penetrol,I scrubbed her with Soft scrub
with bleach and a green scotch bright pad,then pressure rinsed.
My take on it is,for a 18 year old boat,it was alot of shine for under 50
bucks.If I'd have known back then,that I was going to love this boat as
much as I do,I might have ponyed up for the paint job.You might want to
think about how paint would stick to penetrol,if you didn't like the
way the Penetrol job came out.
