Re:gelcoat repair - 2008/04/10 01:51
There's definitely fungus on top of the gel coat. No doubts, it's obvious. But after I've uncovered more, the "blotches" appear to be under the glass and related to the micro used to bond the foam under-surface. I'm confident I don't see an infestations of fungus on the bare glass. It actually looks shocking pristine.
As for UV damage. Unless it happened before it was put away, through the existing gel-coat, it's been in a dark closed trailer for 4 years.
As for rust on the controls, there's no rust on any of the workings, aileron or spoilers. They actuate smoothly and a visual inspection doesn't show corrosion. They're all well lubricated still and didn't see direct contact with moisture. Good idea to look though, thanks! I'll double check when I lube them for annual.
Still, per your recommendation, I'll find a fiberglass expert to back me up on the condition of the base glass.
