I have a 73 double cabin MY.I seem to have a powder coming out of my engine room hatches insulation. I know there must be a fix without replacing. Help because it still looks alright except for the powder falling. Thanks Richard

Re: Powder substance
Prime and paint. Seals the dust in. Make sure to vacuum it clean and get all the grease and oil offer or you may have an adhesion problem.

Re: Powder substance
Thanks Seven what paint do you think to use? Did you have the same problem ? I will try it for sure.

Re: Powder substance
Didn’t have this issue with my Hatteras but with my Chris Craft. I used (believe it or not) I used a water base interior smi gloss. The latex encapsulates the fibers and locks them down. Others may thing that crazy but I’ve been in the paint manufacturing business for 45 years. It works and it’s easy to clean. If you don’t like the sheen go with a low sheen. Either works. You will see the paint absorb in quickly. You may need two coats.
