Default Re: gel coat repairs

Ed,

Great explanation. I have a few questions.

How deep do you grind the initial "V" in the cracks ? Through the gelcoat into the laminate a bit ?

I am sort of familiar w/ roving. When you say take out a few strands and braid them - you mean a few of the tiny, hair-like strands, right ? And your experience has proven that the repair holds-up pretty well ?

Lastly, what is your way of mixing gelcoat to match it right ?

thx,

alan
