Hull Protectant

[Bowsprit]

I hoping someone has an answer for this one. I have a 12' 1967 Valco in pristine condition. My problem is that there is some type of protective coating on the hull that is peeling and I would like to know what is is and if I can re apply it. It's transparent with a greenish hue. The aluminum where it has peeled up is shiny new and I'd like to keep it that way, if possible. Thanks for your help.

Throwing this back out here. My Valco aluminum has some type of hull protectant painted on it. It's transparent with a greenish hue. Has anyone seen or know what this is? I was curious if it was something that maybe came standard on aluminum boats at that time ( manufactured in 67). I'd like to be able to reapply it if possible. Thanks again.

Ayuh,... I'd sooner think a previous owner clear coated it...

Or used Vertglas on it. That's my best guess, it's been coated with Vertglas, and that is now peeling.

Okay, I'll search that out. Thanks very much.
