Seriously beautiful repair. I need to do similar repair on my boat where keel hit when being placed on dry rack. Previous repairs have fallen off down to the fiberglass.

Worldcat boats are notoriously famous for poor sponson glass. My old boat would Crack and chip down that line even hitting small sticks at idle. Nice repair though

We like to use Dura Block sanding blocks. They sell them in a kit with different sizes which makes it nice for different angles/areas of the boat. You can buy them on Amazon or auto body stores.

I been in collision repair 20 years. I'm now getting into gel coat repair. My biggest struggle is getting color matched gelcoat. Where do you get it?

@junkintreasures We use many different sources of Gelcoat. Sometimes we color match it by eye. If it’s a newer boat, then we typically purchase factory Gelcoat with the hull ID. Spectrum Gelcoat and Mini craft are a couple companies that manufactures have outsourced older models of their factory Gelcoat. We also have used Merritt supply and Fiberlay to have them color match the Gelcoat with a small quarter size sample. Good luck!

I use your recipe for spraying gel coat with a preval sprayer and small cup, eg. 2oz gel coat (no wax); 1oz patch booster; 2% MEKP. Im getting a lot of orange peel? Any suggestions?
@ChettyH2O
@ChettyH2O 9 ай бұрын
@bubbabigbucks1 You will always have orange peel after spraying Gelcoat, you should apply guide coat and sand them out with 400 then 800 then 1200 and after that process you can compound and polish. Even when spraying with a gun you will still need to sand out, unlike paint unfortunately. The guide coat will really help to see the orange peel and stay within your repair area.

@@ChettyH2O thanks for your reply. You make this process look too easy. I think I need to load the gel coat on more than I have. I’m burning through the repair more often than not.
