Hull Repair Tips

[ProfessorM]

Looks like normal Plymouth ramp rash

[macojoe]

Chip away any lose stuff, add sand around the rash 3" all the way around, add some cloth and resin, sand to make look good top off with gel coat, I hate gel coat cause ts thin and hard to deal with, IMO I would use Marine Tex for the toping.

Just cover some how cause the way it is will asorb water and you will have worse problems later on!

Looks like someone just tried to fix it by painting on fiberglass.
Sand it all off tapering out past the chip areas in a 6 x wide to 1 x deep ratio. it really doesnt look like a glass job, more like a marine tex and sand smooth job. You won't be doing it outside you need a heated space, in the 50's to get it to set right area.

the extra painted on fiberglass should come off with acetone and some elbow grease

take some 80 grit on a block and get all that other crap outta there.
fill it with kitty hair fiberglass and block it out strait. repeat if ness.
