Re: HELP Please! Nitromors on plastic bath
 

For difficult to remove coatings, removal can be speeded up by scratching the coating with coarse sandpaper, but be careful not to deeply scratch the underlying surface. Then apply the remover and cover with plastic film to keep the remover wet use the paste type remover good luck

You can fit a new one then, I can just explain how the old one was screwed up :-D

Re: HELP Please! Nitromors on plastic bath
 

Careful with the solvents. You can cause a lot of damage to plastic baths with solvents.
Tile grout powder is abrasive enough for plastic bath gel coats. If it *has* seeped in then try some sandpaper to take some of the stained gel coat off and then use tile grout powder to smooth it all up again.
Once you wear through the gel coat (you'll know when you do) you're stuffed....

if its gelcoated fibreglass bath, then it should not be damaged by terps or white spirit. try acetone or nail varnish remover.

Re: HELP Please! Nitromors on plastic bath
 

noooo!!!! dont use anything coarse. if acetone does not work, then sharpen a piece of wood, eg cloths peg and gently try and pick off nitromoors. when worst of its off, 1000 grit wet or dry used wet with a bit off washing up liquid added. finish with plastic polish to get the shine back.

bear this in mind, plastic/fibreglass baths are not hand laid up. the gellcoat is sprayed on as are the fibres. so the thickness of the gellcoat is 0.5mm at most.

+1 For BG-- Messie,but only on the damage surface,or as small an area as possible, and then if you can't get it back with polish touch up the damaged area to match and then polish with a rubbing compound and plastic polish

I HAVE REPAIRED GEL-COAT ON BOATS BY THIS METHOD and if done with care maybe not 100% but such a slight difference that it hardly notices.

M.B I would suggest using white gelcoat repair which you can colour match,available from any boat Chandler
