[Rhodes22-list] Gelcoat Repair

[David Bradley]

Joe, I've seen companies onsite at local boatyards doing on-site gel coat repairs. I'd guess that a visit or call to a marina that caters to higher end yachts will have a provider list.

I got a gelcoat repair kit, and didn't do bad matching the color, but the scratches were so close together, I couldn't isolate each one with masking tape to limit the over flow.  Sanding has been my problem.
