I've got 2 small 3" long by 1" wide spots on my hull where the gel coat has been damaged due to what appears to be dry stacking lift damage. Firstly, should I repair them at all? What’s the risk of not repairing them? Secondly, I've bought a gel kit repair kit but have never done any gel coat repairs before. How difficult is it? I'm told you have to mix the entire kit; it’s a one use kit they said. I have different colors that allow you to match the hull color. What is the process? Sand the site to ensure its rough enough to allow bonding? Apply gel coat with a wooden applicator? Setting time? Then sand to complete smooth finish? I have not clue and am a little apprehensive to be honest. Any tricks/ideas would be appreciated.
