Being new to this plastic boat scene (30 ys of woodies before now) I was unaware, when drilling out some DPO installed, rusted in, steel bolts to replace them with SS, that the resulting steel dust (which I thought that I had adequately swept up/washed away) would create almost instant (overnight) rust pox on the fiberglass decks. Tried scrubbing with Soft Scrub and Scotch Brite and that removed some, but not all, of the persistent buggers. Anyone have some tried and true remedies?
