Well, I can think of lots of reasons to use polyester, but the best reason is that I make a large portion of my living doing repairs on it! But refinishing- that's another story. Luckily I don't do refinishing. There are some outfits doing polyester refinish jobs- a lot of work I'm sure. But poly is durable and watertight. By the way, anybody know a good way to make a satisfactory repair when the veneer is damaged underneath a clear polyester finish? I've never been able to do a satisfactory repair of this type. The only way I could see to do this repair is to remove the clear coat- how to do this without removing the color? Trying to blend in a spot repair is almost impossible for me. I've tried heating the poly with a heat gun, but it only makes more problems. What I'm after is a simple touchup method without stripping the whole panel. Any ideas? Paul McCloud, RPT San Diego, CA
