Re: hair line cracks in gel coat
Unfortunately I know of no easy method to repair these. If anyone knows of an easy method I'd like to hear it.<br /><br />As far as I know you must first grind the cracks out, fill with a suitable filler (epoxy or the like) and then try to match the gel coat color as best as possible......<br /><br />Not to mention all the sanding required.....<br /><br />Reinforcement will help prevent the cracks from forming for the most part but if the rails are mounted directly to the surface then any movement will for sure cause the cracks to come back again eventually. <br /><br />Not sure but it may be possible to use rubber gaskets of some type between the rail and the top surface of the glass to allow for some movement while not stressing the glass to the point of cracking.
