fix chips on bottom of boat????
I got a couple of chips on the bottom edge of my boat. It is about a inch long and shows black undernieth. What is a easy way to fix this, so it doesn't stand out?

Re: fix chips on bottom of boat????
sand the area with some 60 grit, hit it with some acetone to clean then buy some Gel paste from west marine or a Blue water store, you can tint the paste with coloring agent to match the rest of your gel, you wont get a perfect match put it will be close, follow mixing instructions on can of paste, apply to area this stuff will shrink a little so add a little extra then cover with the acetate paper[clear plastic sheet] and tape to seal out air,

gel coat wont cure in the properly presence of air. it needs to be sealed off. in the industry we either use a waxing agent or spray a few coats of PVA (polly vinyl alchohol) on it .
