Re: Fiberglass Repair Needed On Hull
thanks guys i just got a estimate from the local fiberglass guy he quoted $1000 to fix this little repair WOW time to learn how to make this repair.
Man..im in the wrong business. OH wait..Im in this business lol.
Well ok now. First the bottom one. You could fill it with some gel paste. Or you could fill it with some fiberglass putty or that Marine tex. A gelcoat repair may pop in the future if its not sprayed over. In any case just fill it with something..sand smooth then dab some bottom paint over it ( 1 hour repair from the pros max ).
The top side ( side of the boat ) should be done with gel paste. It really should be sprayed over as well. But for the sake of argument that you just want it spotted in then try the marine tex. Sand that and see how you like the color. If you dont like it then get a small gelcoat ( NOT paste ) sprayable kit. Matching isnt really that hard if your patient. Buy a preval sprayer and your golden for any small repair on your or one of your friends boats
. That little guy should be 4 hours tops from a repair shop.
Total should be about 5 hours max @ $95/hr + materials = about 550-600 bucks.
Now that Im back posting on the forums I really should do a color match vid for you guys
Well good luck..
