can you use this product on boats? will it damage gelcoat and other surfaces on a boat?

I have used this on the metal/plastic frame around our RV windows but when I used a little around the caulking on our refrigerator exterior vent, it did take away the shine. I haven't tried anything else just to be on the safe side. The problem is that it didn't do anything to prevent more mold from forming. So far I haven't found anything to help and we are full-timers; we suffer from old around ALL windows and it is a true struggle.

I use this to apply the wax or compound (I compound the gel coat on our boat) and rub off by hand.

This should work well as a lot of mariners use it to waterproof their maps when boating. I would put at least 3 coats on, with a drying time of 1 hour between each coat.

I used it on paint and it worked well, it would work on painted fiberglass like a corvette. It would not likely work well on say a oats gel-coat that is heavily oxidized.

Have never used on boat vinyl seats, but have used on wood deck and vinyl siding with good results. Bill

The paint is for on the bottom of boats to prevent barnacles and other marine growth when the boat sits in the water for extended periods. You can use it to paint anything you want! If I had a boat lift I would not need any bottom paint

This produce mostly is recommended for canvas and boat and car covers as water repelant. When you apply the product looks greasy. Do not use it on cloth seats.

I have only used it on a dry surface, but in the comment section, I saw a this: By CaptJack on January 14, 2013 Verified PurchaseThis stuff has been around for years....... and it works. I keep a kit on the boat. Weather the white or the gray it will always stick and harden. I have used it under water and on water jackets with 100% confidence. Once hardened you can file it and even drill and tap it. For emergency repairs and long term renovations I trust it.

I use this on a 14 year fiberglass boat. the boat was either in the water or winter storage. it had quite a bit of oxidation on it. I bought a Makita buffer to buff out the boat. it was a lot of work. I am thinking I should have first got a very coarse grit buffing compound. one thing that worked well to get the grime off the boat was gel toilet bowl cleaner I bought at the dollar store. again with a project that old, I would get a very coarse buffing compound then perhaps followed up with this product. get on YouTube and see how they clean boats with this stuff, that's what I did. my project turned out the sort of okay with this product but it was a lot of work.

I used it on the floor of my boat. It covered a 4'x10' area with 2 coats and just enough left to touch up any thin spots. 1st coat will look like crap but the second coat always evens things out and adds a lot of thickness.

I don't believe this wax has a cleaning agent nor do I know if it is recommended for fiberglass. As a cleaner, I have used Meguiar's Cleaner & Wax for my autos. But again, I don't know if it would be recommended for fiberglass. You should Google Meguiar's & inquire what they would recommend to clean oxidation from your boat.

I use it on a boat too. Don't think I would consider it "water proof", but it gets splashed on once in a while.

It can clean the boat cover; I'm not certain about re-waterproofing. The label states that the product: "Cleans safely, revitalizes breathability, and water repellency". Nikwax makes another product for waterproofing clothing and gear. For equipment: Nikwax Tent and Gear Solarproof.

I would say yes. I have used it on a fiberglass sailboat and it stuck like iron. Warning. Mix a good dollop When you try to mix a tiny amount it doesn't harden well. It is a 1-1 mix which is easy but the cure time is long which is typical with strong epoxys. If I were you I would clean clean clean the crack and then clean again with acetone. Then use this or even better ( but more expensive). Marine tex white epoxy. Good luck.

I just finished my first bottle. I went through my boat 2.5 times with it. (22 ft bowrider with a load of white vinyl) As a conditioner, protectant and lite cleaner it works great. If things are really dirty get ready to use alot of elbow grease. I found that using a magic eraser for heavily soiled spots works best and then follow up with the 3M product my boats interior is holding up great. The protectant and conditioning properties of the product are great!!!!!

This stuff works great on our Cobalt hull. Our boat spends a few days in a fresh water lake and gets really scummy yellow. Just put it in a spray bottle (wear a mask and gloves) spray it on the hull in small increments scrub lightly with a sponge (mine is attached to a long handle) then hose off. It's like magic!

Yes more than likely. I have on my boat and the adhesive is auto grade. I cleaned really well with alcohol before I placed on the Fiberglass. I even placed an unhooked up strip under my swim platform to see how well it would stay and still there after a season of boating. You might be able to remove with a blow dryer from paint but not sure.
