cracks

Right now I'm in the process of looking for a runner bottom to buy. Seems like many in my price range have stress cracks in gel/paint on rear corners. Is this something I should stay away from OR is this normal and no big deal. Not really talking about how bad it looks, most can't be seen from...

Has any one ever been successful at repairing cracks in a clear resin over wood this was done by some one jumping across deck:(((((( when cold any help I would like to try something a little less invasive but may end up redoing entire deck include pics as best as possable, Thanks WildBill

The pics are on the deck, Can I bondo these? Or will primer fill it. Or does it shrink too much?? If I sand all the yellow off cracks are gone, but the one crack between colors is bad. Seems like it would have done this even if it wasn't painted??? Or do I need to reglass the whole decklid or...

Ok I. Have a 78 Hawaii jet boat and it's got stress cracks everywhere ... Is this a bad thing or just well used... What can happen

I recently replaced the front floor area and front stringer in my 1994 Lavey 21 foot open bow. 18 years of use had rotted the front part of the floor from the dash forward. I also replaced the bulkhead that the back of the front stringer glasses to. Used all 1/2" marine grade plywood, and...

My 79 Cole TR-2 has a stress crack across the transom. First pic shows location in relation to top of transom and kind of gives an idea the size of the crack. The second pic shows how it starts to wrap around on the right side only. In the third pic I put tape from where it starts and ends...

Quick run down. Had all the bulkheads replaced not to long ago and flow coated black. The flow coat was brushed on with runs/drips everywhere and looked like crap. After reading numerous threads about spraying on gelcoat, I decided to try it myself and chose a different color this time. I used...

i have two hallets that have done this in the same exact locations. Ive been told to use fiberglass filler but it seems to me like it will just crack again. any advice would be apreciated!

What is the best method to repair gelcoat cracks. This boat has a lot of cracks in the painted deck that are all the way thru the paint and gel. They don't seem to be any deeper than the gel. Is it best to grind them out and lay mat and resin or is there a product like "Fiber Tech" that will...
