Hello Everyone
I am in the process of touching up the hull on my Key West 1900. The previous owner either sanded or buffed though the gelcoat in a couple of small spots. The largest is about 2"x6". The dimensions represent the area you can actually see through, what is left, of the gelcoat. It is very thin in the srounding area. I have an almost perfect color match with the gelcoat I am using to repair the weak area. My problem is feathering the gelcoat I sprayed, overlapping the thin area, into the the good, existing gelcoat. I thought about sanding the thin area out to where good gelcoat starts and giving myself about a 45 degree bevel to level with. I sure could use some good advise before I take a chance of turning a small area needing repair into a larger area needing repair.
Thank you for your help,
Grits
