Default de-waxing fiberglass before grinding.

while I was on the web today this thought popped into my head. "I didn't use a de-waxing solvent or cleaner on the fiberglass before I started grinding". Do you guys think there still would be wax left on the gel coat and fiberglass I sanded years after the repair was made? I wouldn't think that the way would still be there that long.


If so, How do I get the way out?

I doubt that there would still be any left, but if you are unsure, simply use a solvent or dewaxer like you would before you started grinding. No reason it shouldn't still work, and it won't effect the glass either way.

you think standard automotive shop solvent would work followed by acetone?

I was trying not to have to order the interlux stuff.

Use a surface prep. Or a Prep solvent used for automotive paint(you can get a gallon of this stuff for the price of there quart) The interlux solvents are over rated and over priced. Just went thru this with my priming process.

That's what I figured KJ, I'll try to find some surface prep locally. Then I'll go over with acetone.
