Urethane Paint
The paint on my 14 year old LAK-17a looks factory. No cracking or
crazing whatsoever and only a few chips. I'm a believer!

Does the PU protect the gelcoat from temperature related crazing? Someone told me that gelcoat crazing was attributed to rapid change in temperature associated with flying wave. Once the cracks start moisture penetrates and accelerates the deterioration. Anyone have a crazed PU painted wing? Anyone have a better explanation for wing crazing? -- Dan, 5J
