On my '78 Chrysler, there are a few tiny holes in the hull (only on the fiberglass), and little chips and cracks I'd like to fill in this week. what is the best stuff to use and where can I get it?

if you look in the restoration section....there are lots of threads on repairing gellcoat....

if the scracthes are veruy small not down to the glass.....you can sand them out....

the ones that are down to the glass....fill with gellcoat paste.....sand and buff
