CHAPTER 7

For minor repairs refer to the following procedure:

1. Clean the area to be repaired and get rid of any wax or grease

residues.

2. Clean out scratches, chips, and nicks.

3. Sand area to be repaired so gelcoat will bond.

4. In a separate container, measure only the amount of gelcoat you

will need. Mix a ratio of 2% ratio of catalyst to the amount of gelcoat

being used (a spoonful of gelcoat will require only a drop or two of

catalyst). Do not pour any unused portions of the gelcoat/catalyst

mixture back into either original container.

5. Apply gelcoat to area leaving a slight lift above the surface.

6. Cover the area with wax paper. It will help the mixture to set up

faster.

7. Remove wax paper and shave off any extra gelcoat with a razor

blade.

8. After the area is shaved smooth, start with the 400, 600, and ﬁ nally

1000 grit sand papers.

9. Buff the area with compound, polish and a ﬁ nish wax. You may

notice a difference between the repaired area and the original ﬁ nish

due to the natural weathering process.

Canvas

Boat canvas is in most cases subjected to more severe punishment than

practically any other type of material. Moisture, dirt and chemicals

from industrial fallout, heat, ultraviolet rays and salt water are all factors

which accelerate the deterioration of your boat canvas.
