[C320-list] Paint Color Inside Locker

[Utility Email]

I learned a couple of years ago after contacting the factory that this sticky coating inside our boats is uncured gel coat. It made quite a mess of some of our jackets clothing. So we covered it with Saran wrap.  Also for our hanging locker I the aft cabin where it was the worst, I covered it with cedar furring strips to match the other cedar lined wall in that locker. 

What a pain to have to work around that stuff.
