I need to repair some chips on my fiberglass hull.

[TampaBoater]

I need some info on products to repair to chips on my fiberglass hull, I bought the boat with the chips, and they are about 1/2 inch to maybe 3/4 inch long, not very wide. concentrated to the bow, right below the bow eye. I have never done this kind of repair ever, so any help appreciated.

Use a Dremel tool to clean em out real well and remove any loose stuff. Then use a toothbrush and some Acetone to wash em out. Then use the Gelcoat kit Bob talked about. Matching the Gelcoat color will be the toughest part.

I use fiberglass resin plus fiberglass powder to make a paste and stick up in there. Small chips you can get away with just resin, but it's too brittle for anything of size.
