Default Gel coat repair

I've successfully used Evercoat laminating gel coat from West Marine to repair both original factory surfaces and Prestec surfaces. I started with it because there was a store nearby and the Prestec shelf life is not so great. For deep gouges and nicks I fill with a mixture of that and cotton flocking. Like everything, the problem is getting the color match right. Who knew that there were so many shades of white?

That’s good info! My glider is s bit of a Frankenstein because of previous damage history. Multiple shades of white. As long as it flys well I don’t care. I know what you mean about the Prestec shelf life. I stuck mine in the fridge hoping it’ll extend the shelf life.

No problem with the Evercoat? What are using to cure it PVA?

I’ve been using resin and Cab-o-sil for deep gouges. I have an old Bayliner Trophy I’ve been practicing gel coat repair on.
