Hi All, I'll soon begin the task of installing my new swim ladder and adjustable motor mount. I've messed with fiberglass in several projects but never had to match gel coat. I read and re-read Don Casey's book "Hull & Deck Repair" and feel very confident in most any repair of my Monty, except the matching. Any helpful hints? Any ready made solutions? Thanks for any help... Bill M-17 #496 "Tipperary"
When I did the Gel Coat repairs, the 'Buff White' gel Coat tubes sold at WM matched my Monty Dinghy. Gordon M8 ----- Original Message ----- From: <BILLAMICASR@aol.com> To: <montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Friday, April 15, 2005 9:56 PM Subject: M_Boats: Gel Coat Matching

We switched standard colors several times over the years, but they were always an "off-white", usually a form of ivory. None of those early gelcoat companies are even in busuness any more, at least in the gelcoat business.
