Since I've got my engine torn down for a full rebuild, I've decided to upgrade the exterior too. Boat has several cracks and chips in coating. Can you specify what Ill need for filler? Also I think I read that gell coat can be bought in aerosol cans, if so can you share a link?


Thanks in advance

Re: Gell coat questions

Paint comes in Rattlecans,.......

Gelcoat is a Resin that you Mix........
If your Chips are Small,.... You just use Gelcoat......

For the Cracks,.....
You'll need some Fine Fairing Compound...... A Quality Bondo.....
But,.......
With Most Stress Cracks,..... Unless you Beef Up the area behind,+ around the Crack,......
It'll just Come Right Back.............
