Do not apply the compound in sunlight. Your vehicle, boat or trailer made with Clad Tuff FRP will give you years of service if the proper care begins at the start of ownership. Make regular walk around inspections of your Clad Tuff FRP unit to look for signs of damage, deterioration around fasteners, caulking breakdown, or general signs of moisture. Note any scar or abrasion on the surface, as it can be a point of entry for moisture. Moisture, like rust to a car, can destroy the integrity of the panel core.
Preventive maintenance can eliminate future problems.
