The message is probably addressed to the boaters since it involves 
fiberglass.  We have a white fiberglass table on the patio which has 
been soaking up the sun for at least 10 years and it shows it.  The 
surface has become chalky and it has developed fine cracks that look 
like they will eventually become peeling "paint".  Actually, that rosin 
layer probably is just like paint.

Can it be saved?  If it can, what's the process and materials to be 
used.  Do I need to sand/grind off the potentially peeling layer to 
solve both the chalking and cracking/potentially peeling problems?  Can 
I apply a new layer(s) just like paint... as long as I'm willing to can 
the brushes between coats?  Do I need to know if the original surface 
resin is epoxy or polyurethane or acrylic or... whatever?

Is there and even better way.  Maybe screwing on a whole new top made of 
indestructum?

Thanks, now back to other off topic topics.
