Bow fix

[SteveNix]

While teaching the wife how to dock, had this little mishap.

I've never done any fibreglass or gelcoat work before. What's the best way to fix?

She found the brake. It's spelled D-O-C-K

You can also get a gel coat repair, some come with a few pigments so you can tint it to the color of your boat. You can purchase them at hardware, marine, auto parts and other stores.

Re: Bow fix

Wow thanks for the quick reply.

But do I go with Marine Tex, or a gel coat kit???

Re: Bow fix

For a patch that big and in that spot you'll want to be sanding it down to match the surrounding area.

Ever tried to sand marine tex?



There's your answer.
