I'm trying to remove the rest of the chrome from my port lights. I'm using muriatic acid and a battery charger set at 2 amp.
It works good while it's running but the charger keeps tripping out. Any solution? Thanks.

Re: Side deck repair?

Thanks Zack

The next day I water washed it and mostly just sanded the high spots it still has a lot of shiny grooves
between the weaves. I wasn't sure how to rough that up. Can I just use a new steel wire hand brush?
Or should it be stainless?

Re: Recore or not?

Just that it seemed soft or mushy when walking across it.
The core is not wet but it's been inside for the last 15 years I was told.

So just cut the fiberglass up into small squares to make it easyer to get out?
