[Public-List] Fire

Has your boat ever been painted inside? It looks like paint blisters. In 
either case you just have to sand the areas down and may need to paint 
afterwards.

Hi,

We had a small fire on the boat over the weekend. I'm entirely
sure what caused it, possibly a faulty stove, possibly stuff
falling into the flame. It was out in seconds. Fire extinguishers
really work. The make a real mess however as you can see in the
photos here:

Most what you see has already been cleaned up. The mono ammonium
phosphate powder from the fire extinguishers was vacuumed and
then wiped up. The soot marks came off with a dilute bleach
solution.

The only damage that remains is the flaking of the gelcoat of
the liner. There's a close up in the third picture on that page.
Has anybody seen this before? Should I just sand it off?

SG
