How to Repair-Refinish-Restore Crazing or Spider Cracking????

(1/3) > >>

rrack:
We have about a 10 year old CalSpa tub that has a bunch of crazing or tiny spider cracks all over the top edges of the shell.  I'm sure it's from sun damage due to it not being covered in quite a while.  We now have a new cover and would like to tackle the ugly crazing or whatever it is.  Is there a simply way to take care of it like polish and buffing?  A clear gelcoat? Just wanted to research before I do something that I shouldn't.

Thanks in advance.

Anyone?

MarKee:
As far as I know, crazing it not possible to repair.  It's a cosmetic thing that you'll probably have to live with.  The shell should still function fine though.

Sam:
That is my understanding as well.  I've never heard of any way to deal with crazing.  You just have to live with it.

They only solution I know of is trading it in for a new unit, no more crazing! :-) no but for real there isn't anything you can do, If the tub has truly sat outside/uncovered I would at least fill it up and verify there isn't more repairs needed.  Those diverters knobs look sun/chemical baked as well, I'd be shocked if they were still functioning at 100%
