Gas Posted November 17, 2009 Report Posted November 17, 2009 Adice please. For the last two years I have left Abode on her trailer at Cobbs for the winter, what with storage fees gone up this year I have decided to bring her home to Bristol to carry out minor repairs Feb to March, so I can get her ready for next year, I have a few gel coat chips from fishing weights and had a small diesel spill in her hull which I would like to scrub clean. I have gone on the internet to see how to make small repairs to gel coat but just wondering if anyone can recommend a product and the best place to purchase it from and how easy it is. The very first chip was repaired at Holes bay which cost Quote

Fugazi Posted November 18, 2009 Report Posted November 18, 2009 Don't be afraid to have a go, Fugazi made a hard contact with her trailer which resulted in a lump of gel coat being gouged out just above the waterline leaving the glass matt exposed. Bought a repair kit from Force 4 and fixed it no problem and as they say you can't see the join. Very easy to follow instructions and cheap to do. Gordon H Quote
Maverick Martin Posted November 18, 2009 Report Posted November 18, 2009 As Gordon says have a go.....if you cock it up its not the end of the world as I have the name of a very good glass fibre man who doesn't charge the earth Martin Quote
