Montypals: On my maiden voyage last month I didn't get the boat onto the trailer correctly, so on the ride home she bounced around and gouged up the bow a bit on a bolt on the trailer. So, I have an area about an inch long with the gelcoat gone, into the glass. Not through the glass. What is the best way to repair this? It is below the red stripe. I figure I need to sand it, wet it with epoxy, then fair it with more epoxy, dry, and paint? I've never done anything like that. Or, can I epoxy, and put some kind of gelcoat on the spot? Thoughts from the experts? Daniel M15 208 Kestrel
Hi Daniel, Having had similar experiences, I have used 3M Premium Marine Filler for work like that and like it. It is a 2 part filler, and you can mix up just a small amount. Fair it just level or a bit below the gel coat level and wet sand carefully. Then use a gel coat touch up kit to color it and level to the surrounding area. You might have to play a bit with the gel coat colorants to match your hull color. Very light wet sanding with 1000 grit paper will let you fair in the gel coat. The gel coat kits usually come with a jar of paste, and tubes of color. Some times you only need part drops of color to get what you need. As well there should be a couple of sheets of semi rigid acetate film. This is taped over the repair so it cures. It also helps to smooth the gel coat. Light use of buffing compound helps to fair it as well if you have gone a bit higher than the surrounding area. Polish it all after and should look good. Kinda fun to do. Wear your wounds as badges of experience. Bill M17 Makin' Time #622 On Fri, May 6, 2011 at 2:04 PM, Daniel Rich <danielgrich@gmail.com> wrote:

OK, now this sounds great. OK, I am truly ignorant, so when you say wet sand, does that mean take a block of wood, put the 1000 grit on it, get it wet with water, and sand? The rest of it I think I follow. Daniel On 5/6/2011 11:40 AM, Bill Wickett wrote:

Yup, but you need to make sure the paper is for wet sanding. It is usually black. Actually 600 grit works pretty well. Use it with a light touch, you can cut through gel coat very easily. If the repair is fairly large, a block will help keep everything level, but on a boat hull there is usually some curve, so you might not want the sanding block. A rubber faced sanding block works okay if it is fairly soft. Once you have it wet, you will feel it cutting right away. Just go easy. Don't be afraid to re-wet the paper often. Dip it right in to a pail. If you see the green of the filler showing up, or even a faint shadow, stop. You might need to apply some more gel coat, then fair it carefully again. Easy, easy, light touch with the paper. Don't rush it. You will be an artiste! Bill On Fri, May 6, 2011 at 4:34 PM, Daniel Rich <danielgrich@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi Daniel, sorry about the damage. Two part epoxy like West Systems or System Three would do. Although you will use little of it and you would need to thicken it with Collodial Silica (sp?) which West System also offers as part of the epoxy repair kit. Probably no reason not to do the fairing compound, just make sure that it is suitable for below the water line, most should be. As suggested the easiest way to match the gel coat or get close will be a gel coat repair kit. As suggested leave it proud (bulge or over filled) then sand down the gel coat to get it smooth. You just want to mask off the surrounding area as much as possible. I did a larger gel coat repair which is summarized at http://www.msogphotosite.com/RRBlister.html that may or may not help.

I have unopened west systems stuff and colloidal silica ready for my rebedding project. But I didn't think the colloidal silica was the stuff for thickening for this purpose. They seem to indicate using microballoons, or other products they have. So, the colloidal silica will work here? Do I have to wet out first, or just make a batch of epoxy, then thicken, then just apply it and fair it out? Daniel On May 7, 2011, at 11:42 AM, robbin roddewig wrote:

Hi Daniel, I mentioned thickening with silica because I assumed you are working with a vertical or worse surface where if you have a deep area to fill you will want the epoxy to stay after putting it there. About peanut butter consistency. The silica is just to thicken, it makes structural bonds maybe a small amount weaker but if you are filling it is not a structural purpose. at least not enough that I would expect thickening to be an issue. I might be tempted to clean the repair area with some alcohol, mask off the damage and put some of the epoxy in leaving it a bit lower than the surface. Peel back the tape after the expoxy starts to kick and let it cure. Then with a gel coat repair kit try to color match the top surface with gel coat. My experience with gel coat is to leave it proud (above the surface and then sand and polish it with different grades of sand paper. That tends to make it blend a bit with the surrounding gel coat, although I personally could never get a perfect match it will not stand out and your will know it is very well repaired. Good luck!

Hi Dan, Epoxy thickened with colloidal silica is as hard as a rock and difficult to sand and fair to a fine edge. Microballoons are deisgned to be used as a thickener when you need to sand and fair to a fine edge.
