I'm looking for steps to take care of fiberglass peeling on 2 cataract oars. Blades are fine.
Thanks,
Brian

400 grit sand paper and marine epoxy coat.

should this be done in small steps or sand the entire oar shaft then apply epoxy?

Sand the entire shaft, wipe them down with acetone, apply two coats of marine varnish according to the manufacturers recommendations regarding drying time between coats.

I had four of those cataract shafts about 8 years ago that left fiberglass particles when the came in contact with skin-not fun.

You'll want to re-apply every couple of years using the same procedures.
