Has anyone found a solution for preventing fiberglass shedding on weathered ladders without having to replace them?

So, here’s the deal – my company has a couple of fiberglass ladders that are still in pretty good shape, but they’re looking a bit weathered. The fiberglass is starting to come off, which is a bit annoying, to say the least. I was wondering if anyone has ever tried using a clear coat or something to fix this issue? I’m getting tired of getting fiberglass all over my arms every time I use them. The thing is, one of them is a 10-footer and the other is a 12-footer, so they’re not exactly the kind of ladders you can just toss out. Any ideas on how to make them look and feel brand new again?
Sure thing! Sanding it lightly can make a big difference. I ended up applying around 3 coats of spray. It held up well for almost 8 years.
If the fibreglass is very faded and splintering, it’s time to replace them. It’s better to be safe than sorry and avoid any potential injuries.
This involves health and safety. It includes companies, lawyers, insurance companies, and a judge. Homer Simpson noticed his ladder had been “shined” and then…
Hey Jeff, feel free to tape off the steps anytime you need.
