Haven't tried that stuff but I looked at it at the store and decided regular gelcoat was a better deal. The amount you get in that tube is nothing compared to the can. I wonder how that stuff matches? If you try it, let us know. I still think regulard gelcoat is the way to go.

Fas-Stone Epoxy filler . Manf by Fasco. Two part. dries white and sands like fiberglass.

Check the web site for explanation of their products. They can give you list of distributors. I use it for all my repairs, niks, scratches etc. because I paint over it. Very little porosity.

Hermco gives the best advise. Just another alternative here vs gelcoat ;)

Yeah, Anyone know what color egent to tint the white gel coat to get the faded 20yr seacraft white color? Has anyone matched it closely? I used plain white Evercoat Scratch patch but its really white. Anyone have any suggestions. Maybe after weathering a bit...

I start with a mustard color tint. It is not easy to match gelcoat colors. It takes me hours sometimes. You might want to find someone who does gelcoat repairs and pay them if you want a good match.
:rolleyes:
