DIY Gelcoat Repair

[dlb]

I have some gouges in my black Gelcoat I want to repair.

I have 2 questions....

Where do I buy the kit?

How do I make sure of the color match?

Thanks

I just ordered some of this. I'll be checking it out as soon as it arrives. Do a search here. There are other members who have used it with very good success.

I already checked there.

I have an '02 boat, they don't list that "vintage".

my question is , what do you use as hardener ? My Dealer WIzard Lake sent me some gel touch up but I need to mix in some hardener

I have an ebony hull that I did some minor work on and used the Spectrum kit and was happy with it. I am doing some board repair now and have been getting my hardner at Auto Zone. Any auto parts place will have it. Get the clear hardner for fiberglass resin.

I sent Malibu my hull ID# and asked them what colors (true names) I had, then ordered the Spectrum from that.

It's called MEKP. Available at most marine supply stores, and some auto parts stores. It's the standard hardener for polyester based resins.

Spectrum is good stuff. Expensive but works well.
