I've got a tiny chip out of the gel on one of my spray rails. It's been there a few years but whilst I've got the boat all dried out I was going to repair it.

I've got some GRP on order which includes some white Topcoat.

Can I use this to repair the chip? (I don't have any ordinary gel & I don't want to buy a tub when I'm only going to use about 10 grams)

Cheers
 
may be a bit thin, if you want a bit of white gel i'll send you some on tuesday?

Thanks Gav, that would be excellent.

You can pop it in with the seat runners if you like. :D

And if they're not, don't bother posting gel seperately; it can wait until they arrive.

PS: How much for gel?

Thanks
 
Gav, a quick question for you:

My plan is to glass over the wooden floor (I lifted the carpet to glass the sides and found that the floor had not been sealed) and then paint over that with Flowcoat.

<b>Do I need to wait until the glass is cured before I Flowcoat, or should I do it when it's still 'green'?</B>

Cheers
