Now you’re ready to mix a fresh batch of gel coat (without the chop) and spray the scratched and patched areas (Photos 6 and 7). Chris recommends using a disposable spray gun and paper cups. Unthinned gel coat won’t go through the sprayer. Add the recommended amount of reducer (read label directions) and hardener and mix the ingredients. Spray the patched areas with short bursts.

King Starboard

a HDPE sheet designed for the marine environment, it’s a widely popular marine material because it will never rot or delaminate, and is virtually maintenance free. It’s very easy to work with using common woodworking tools, but cannot be glued or bent. Perfect for doors, hatches, storage units, rod holders and tackle boxes.

Coosa Board

a polyurethane foam filled with strand and woven fiberglass making it as structurally sound as plywood, but weighs about 30-40% less and will never rot or absorb water. Although it will not absorb water or rot, in most cases we recommend covering the material as it is not UV stable and due to the fiberglass composition can be rough on skin. Ideal for decking, bulkheads, and transom replacements.

King Starlite

a lighter weight version of King Starboard that’s less expensive but not as rigid. The reason for it being lighter and less expensive is that when extruded, a blowing agent is added. The tradeoff for this is that it has a cellular edge that dirties easily so it’s not ideal for visible applications. That said, it works well for areas not visible like tackle box shells, upholstery substrates and backing plates.


Solid Surface

an easy to work with, less expensive, alternative to other countertop materials. It is available in many attractive colors and designs. That said, it is not as durable as natural stone or granite and has lower heat limitations, but it’s perfect for countertops, vanities and wet bars.

Wait for the gel coat to cure. Sand the repairs with 600-grit and then 800-grit sandpaper. For the perfect finish, sand with 1,200-grit wet/ dry paper then buff (Photo 8). Apply buffing compound directly to the pad. Work on a 2 x 2-ft. area and use light to medium pressure at a fairly low speed. Reduce pressure as the compound starts to dry. Wipe off the haze as you go. Apply the graphics and then wax.

Mixing gel coat is a messy and stinky process—so wear chemical-resistant gloves, safety goggles and a respirator. Start with a small amount of gel coat and stir in the chop and hardener to make a putty that’s the consistency of peanut butter (Photo 3). Once you add the hardener, you’ve only got a 10- to 20-minute “open” time, so mix small batches and work on one gouge at a time. Thorough mixing is critical to proper curing. Spend a full minute stirring. If you don’t, you’ll end up with patches of sticky resin that can take days to harden.

After identifying the damaged areas on your boat, clean it from stem to stern. Remove any old oil or fuel from the engine and oil tank. Also, replace old belts and hoses. Ensure through-hull fittings are working and seal them properly.

An epoxy glue can be used to repair holes. It should be mixed with a density filler to make it stronger. It should be brushed on both sides of the plastic or aluminum strip. Once the glue has dried, you should smooth it to ensure there are no air pockets.
