I have a Yamaha Waverunner with the following gelcoat issues. See attached pics. This is what I understand to do so far. Please correct me if I am wrong.
1. Take an old beer can opener and use the pointed end to burr out issue with angles for the repair to stick.
2. Clean with acetone afterward to remove all loose pieces.
3. Use gelcoat mix and apply to crack only.
4. Put piece of saran wrap or other covering to help the top of the gelcoat repair to dry properly.
5. Once dry. Sand with 120 followed by wet sand of 400, then 600.
6. Use compound such as 3M One stop Fiberglass Restorer.
7. Wax.
Questions:
1. Is this the correct procedure?
2. What is the best gelcoat repair kit to get? How hard is it to match the color? It is white.
3. What are good ratios of WEKP to tablespoons of resin?
