Is there any reason why these pads could not be used on a fiberglass boat hull?

I don't see any reason why they couldn't, but I have no proof that it won't damage anything behind that. I've only used them on a vehicle so far and they worked great.

Good for any surface needing compound and/or polish. I have polished out clear coat and restored plastic headlight lenses.

There's no reason they wouldn't work, though they could possibly get a little hot (they'll become concave of they do, and the pad will be ruined).

Yes, that's where I have it. If it has straight sides it works better. It has a very, very firm grip. No need to worry that it will slip if it's tightened enough. I didn't notice that the description said not to use it on fiberglass. I guess you shouldn't if they say so (just for legal reasons if you have a problem) but mine works just fine.

We have had fiberglass tubs before and the current tub is steel. I don't believe it would be safe to use on fiberglass because if you don't tighten the screw tight and secure, it wouldn't be of any value for safety. I believe it might damage a fiberglass tub.

that is a good question. maybe because the plastic is super thick? but the seller will definitely answer if you ask them. they contacted me before i had received my pad. i wish you luck.

Not very easy. I had to cut through my foam and attach to directly to the fiberglass underneath. But I did cut through it neatly with a razor blade tracing around the pads. And the pads of hell well for two years now with quite a bit of use.

Ok I did some research ... It can be used on any vinyl surface....marine applications are ok ,including fiberglass gel coat! Soooo I would yes you can,but not in the blazing sun!Good luck,Vicki D.

I don't see why the liner would not work in a boat. Although if you're talking about replacing the carpet with the liner when its on it kind of feels like sandpaper so it may hurt your feet.

Yes, this is how these are used on luxury boats...thegraycottage on eBay has a lot of good info on the applications... Good buy also.

I would think it would, since the surface between a vinyl and fiberglass is pretty close compare to a concrete one. You might want to go on the Hayward site and see what it says or email the company. I really like this gadget.

I'm sure you could. You would have to use a good marine epoxy like 3M 5200 to keep them in place.

I would recommend a silicon sealer when installing this item; also my application through hull on my fiberglass boat was no problem; There is adequate allowance for the thickness of any vehicle auto or marine; Just make sure that the surface is not curved when the hole is drilled in order to avoid slippage and any potential leak.

i think it would work great. someone told me that putting this on our fiberglass boat, especially the top part of the boat that is exposed to sun constantly, would prevent any type of fiberglass slivers. so far, it's working for us. good luck.

I have a fiberglass jon boat and they did not work on mine. They tend to pop off the boat seats with a sudden movement (as in when you jerk the rod to catch a fish). I never (can't) use the ones I bought. Bill

Yes you can. I have used it on the bottom of a aluminum v bottom and my fiberglass covered wood boat and it holds up just fine. I don't leave them in the water though. Been on both for two years now with no problem

Yes have been using the pad for the last year and have had no problems with it at all. And I detail daily boats, cars, motorcycles... Great product!

These pads are really pretty good quality. I use them for removing oxidization from gel coats on boats and fiberglass campers, it works perfect. I have not used them on a vehicle finish, although I am sure they work great. Be sure to get the proper wax for your vehicle, and learn to apply it. These buffers are designed to remove scratches, and imperfections. The can and will ruin finishes if you lack proper skill to operate them. And yes, the pad is hook, the bonnet is loop.

I don't know why you would want to seal a fiberglass fuel tank with this when you could use fiberglass resin instead. judging by the appearance of the final product I do think it would work but that is just a guess.
