Anyone ever use the $35 gel coat repair kits they sell in the boat stores or any other repair kit? I have a few scratches I want to remove. Thanks for your input.

Thats a nice boat in the picture.
If that is the boat you want to fix forget the $35 kit .
Save up some $$ and get it fixed by a pro.

Yeah I was going to do that. Some idiot left his canopy in the channel unoccupied and the wind blew it off base and the metal leg put a little scratch on my boat.:|err

I thought i could get a temporary fix before getting a pro to do it.

I'd take it back to Howard, especially if it is the white as they add just a smidgen of color to the white to make it look the way it does...

I got a dime sized chip in the white part of my gelcoat and was quoted $600.00 to fix it. I bought the kit and filled it in and sanded it down. Color sanded with 1500 grit, then polished. I know where it is but nobody else can find it.

this is what I used......was fairly happy the color match was the part that didn't turn out that great but for a temp fix devil

The Evercoat product will work fine for a quick fix appl. if a good solid color match and correct repair is not in order now, definitely go for it! it is usually a bright white Gelcoat...but I have seen many different shades of gray come from the same manufacturer,...I Wonder if its old stock that is used? old gel is not a friend of mine, the curing rate changes in many ways the older the product gets! just like old resin it turns to shitz!
