Don't understand the mystery blue puddle, but for the peach fuzz... I
have been involved in two fuzz abatement projects, and it's a lot of
work! Heat gun, top off on a couple saw horses, and some scrapers.

Good time to replace your canvas if it's needed.

Being in Oregon, everyone's fuzz molds.

We stuck a celtic tapestry up there, stapled it to the wood frame, so
it is suspended from the fiberglass 1/4-1/2". Been two years, with
the bus not garaged, and no mold yet!
