Thanks for your ideas.

We are working on the outside only.

Present color is tinting in the polyester resin - so no paint - and we
will sand it well.

I rebuilt a diving helmet once, using resin and colorant. I would never do
it again. Unless this is a valuable artifact, or some personal memento, go
out and buy a brand new one, and take the difference and have a nice dinner.

Restoration is not always what it is cracked up to be.

With these things, if you do ten of them, you learn along the way, and do a
better job every time. If you do one, you cannot improve.

How does one NOT get water inside a canoe?
