About 26 months ago I refinished my Swift mast with one very very thin coat of WEST with 207 hardener. I promised to keep you informed as it aged. Well it looked really good until about November of this year. It has been in the weather for 23 months now and in November the finish suddenly went to hell almost overnight. I had seen some warning signs where it rested on the bunks of my trailer for the 15000 miles of travel it has seen prior to November but nothing significant. The great news is that the finish is so thin that it will take no time to wet sand the balance off and prep for re-coating. I remain convinced that this is a great way to go. I believe that I added under 3 ounces of weight to the mast and unlike some of the alternatives that may have lasted a bit longer, prep for re coating will be quick and easy. I will remove all of the old finish and therefore not add any additional weight. You can see in the pictures the part below the boat cover and the part above. Best regards, Bram
