I have a home built skiff that a friend built and he only glassed the seams and then painted it. I love this boat and want it to last so I would like to know if anyone has advice on glassing the whole thing. Can I just scuff the paint and then epoxy or do I need to completely remove the paint. Also, they used a generic brand of epoxy and I would like to use West. Can the West go over the old stuff? Any advice would be appreciated.
