Hello all! I have a quick question for you. I need some help with my gelcoat. I had left a pee-can (...not the type that goes into a pie, either!) in the head for when the holding tank is full. It was on the deck and now it has rusted a ring into it. Not a very severe one, but enough to make you say "Oh, S**T!". How do I get the ring out?
Any help would be much appreciated!
Take care & be safe!

XXX,
I'm sure there are lots of homemade remedies, but I have used FSR (Fiberglass stain remover) that you can most likely get from your local boat supply biz. Give it a try. If not, take some cola, mix in some lemon juice, pour an ounce of rum, and dab a little on the stain. If it doesn't work, drink the rest of it.

XXX,
If the FSR doesn't work scrub it with some "on and off"

If all that doesnt work you May also want to try some Bar Keepers Friend.

Marikate "On & Off"

Mike gave you the advice that I hear most often. "On & Off" will get out pretty much anything, but is a little dangerous to work with. It is a combination of hydrochloric, oxyalic and phosporic (I believe). In short, a real nasty combination that will eat through your boat if left on too long. Follow the directions closely and it works great.
