Last year, we had the pleasure of featuring Jake from Vertical Edge. He came to us with a well-loved but weathered fiberglass slide. He had purchased it used, and years of heavy use combined with constant exposure to the outdoor elements meant the slide had seen much better days. The surface was faded, chalky, and in desperate need of a complete resurfacing to make it safe and fun again. Jake tackled that project head-on, and the results spoke for themselves.

Now, we are thrilled to feature him again for another massive undertaking. This time, Jake took on an incredible gelcoat restore on an amusement park ride. The transformation is amazing, proving that with the right technique and high-quality supplies, you can completely revitalize recreational equipment.

Elevating Amusement Park Rides

Amusement park rides take an absolute beating. Between the harsh UV rays of the summer sun, heavy rain, and many eager riders every season, the exterior finishes degrade over time. Maintaining these rides is crucial for both aesthetic appeal and structural safety.

Jake needed a robust, long-lasting solution that would cure to a hard and weather-resistant finish. He turned to a specific combination of professional-grade products to achieve this flawless restore.
