I know how to clean my starboard using soft scrub, or bleach, or those magic eraser things. Has anyone ever tried to remove those knife cut marks? Can you sand starboard smooth? Anyone ever try that?

Re: Starboard repairing

You can sand out scratches, but true starboard has a textured surface. It's not smooth to begin with. But yes, if you have deep cuts, use a DA sander and 100 grit pads.

or a heat gun and melt it back. Starboard is just HDPE (glorified milk jug plastic)
