install new stripe

 To install a new boat stripe you have to first remove the old one. They sell these neet rubber removal tools for your drill. it will take the stripe off. I bought a new roll of 1/2" black stripe material ( ebay)  1/2" x 50' roll. Put little pencil lines where you want the new one to go and carefully apply the new one. I also cut a pointed end and a round dot... also the letters CD.... the stripe is self sticking ....like tape...

You may also noticed I removed the old bottom paint and sanded the gel coat  before applying 3 coats of  an epoxy barrier coat to prevent water intrusion into the bottom fiberglass which will cause blisters. I later applied bottom paint over the epoxy barrier coat.
