Bait board repair
Submitted by Gav475 on Sat, 2017-05-13 08:06
So the bait board i have is a custom made moulded white teflon style. Its looking pretty ratty and was thinking of trying to recondition it. Does any one know of a liquid or spray on product that can give it a new look.

I recently tried a few
I recently tried a few things to bring up my white gelcoat before polishing and especially the textured surfaces were a real PITA.
I finally discover that house hold beach (AKA Sodiom Hyperclorate) workes fantastic. My method is a very light water mist follow by a generous drizzle of the beach straight out of the bottle. Then quickly using a light banister brush rub it all over which basically spreads the bleach and slightly dilutes it. At first it looks like it doesnt work, then after a few minutes magical pur white. Then rinse thoroughly to remove. (Important)
This removes the brown stains that soaks into the gel coat when the surface has aged a bit. Now for the cut and polish to try and seal the surface.
PS: will be thinking twice before bringing large cuttle fish onto my boat again. The gum trees in flower also cause havic with white fibreglass...

Domestos will do it.
As above, I have used Domestos or White King spray on cutting boards and fish cleaning tables to bring them up well, I have one of those $40 blow- moulded Bunnings folding tables as a fish and squid cleaning table, bleach brings it up a treat. Can't do anything about the knife cuts, of course, comes with the territory. I have to recommend those tables as a fish cleaning table, beats the old ironing board hands down, so stable by comparison. Just give the steel parts a spray with Lanox before you use it the first time, will last forever.

orbital sander
had nothing to lose as the board had deep cuts and score marks so took to it with the orbital sander. It produced a very fine white dust when sanded and came up like brand new. Touched up the edges with a special plastic type white gloss spray paint and now lloks like a new one. Happy dayz
