Sunfish Gel Coat Patch - Part 2




Well I sanded and sanded, and applied my white gel coat mix, with yellow tint. The second patch looks better, but let me give you one piece of advice. Gel coat changes color when it cures. The color I had matched when applied was perfect (or close), but to my dismay, when it hardened it brightened up. Anyway, it is good enough for right now. After the boat has been hauled in for the winter, I might give it another try. Although cosmetically it is not the best, it is completely water tight, and has strengthened the area considerably. This weekend, I am going to compound and wax, and move on to other items.
