Default Re: Fiberglass repair/finishing Deck coat

First dont use bondo or marine tex, bondo holds moisture and your hull naturaly due to day night teperature changes always has humidity in it cousing bondo to blister and as far as marine tex if not properly sanded and cured when sprayed or brushed over with gelcoat it will blister or give a negative reaction you will notice it like a big fish eye on the painted surface. as far as coating the deck, go to your local marine supply and get a pound of cabosil powder mix this powder with gelcoat until you get a thick past like textur or bondo texture add a wax solution so when it dries it will be sandable and buffable if need be make sure you mix it all together well and dont forget the catalist M E K to make it hard. I prefer cabosil instead of micro ballons or any other crap Becouse it does not change the color of the gelcoat and is tuffer also tuffer to sand, this is America buy a good sander! Hope that helped, probobly made it worse but I tried Fiberglassman.
