Re: Make sure I am fix this right. Small puncture on boat.

Hey wahnerz,

It doesn't look like there is any glass damage, just cosmetic. What year / make is the boat? Given it's a darker hull, it is going to be easiest to order color matched gel rather than trying to mix it yourself. Check with www.spectrumcolor.com to see if they are able to mix up a batch for you in a small amounts (sometimes they are only limited to mixing gallons, and you will need less than 4oz..) I believe their minimum is a QT unless you are lucky and it's a newer boat; then you can get a 2oz container of paste gel. The bigger problem you may run into is getting the vinyl striping to splice in... Let us know what you have (boat wise) and we'll have a better idea of what you need.

From the pic, looks like all you'll need to do is scuff the exposed glass with 80 grit, clean with acetone and fill with thickened gel. Sand flush, polish and replace the damaged section(s) of pin striping...

Hope this helps!

It does help, its a 1997 Bayliner 2050 boat. Its such a small puncture that I was not worried about it, but I do want to patch it up so it looks nice and so that it doesnt get any worse.
