Can you use Diamondfinish Clear on 1986 fiberglass Bass boat top plate? Has been wet sanded.

Yes — DiamondFinish Clear bonds excellently to fiberglass and provides outstanding UV resistance and gloss retention, making it a great choice for marine and outdoor applications. Follow this simple process:

  1. Clean the fiberglass surface with KBS Klean (10 parts hot water to 1 part KBS Klean) to remove all contaminants.
  2. Scuff the surface with 600 to 1200 grit sandpaper. The fine grit smooths out the surface, so it is always a good idea. Clean again and rinse.
  3. Allow the surface to dry completely before coating.
  4. Apply DiamondFinish Clear in a minimum of 3 thin coats for marine applications.

💡 Pro Tip

For marine use, a minimum of 3 thin coats provides the best durability and water resistance. Apply the next coat once the previous coat is dry to the touch and does not leave a fingerprint, typically 2 to 4 hours.

Before you begin, review the complete application directions to ensure the best results:
