Yeah, I've noticed some runs on boats covered in Corey's goop built by
folks far more experienced than me. I'm in the process of repairing my
boat, prior to reskinning it, and the oil-based pu I used before did a
really poor job of sticking to the skin and got brittle in only a year
of use, so I'll probably cough up for Corey's mix and a decent filter
mask.
I'd still like to hear from somebody who's actually used the stuff,
especially about how it is to use for the first time.
