    Ranger Gel Puddy Repair ? Looking for instructions.

    Does anyone still have a copy of the Ranger Gel Putty repair pamphlet? The sticky thread no longer has the information due to the Tiny Pic changes.

    I am needing to fill a chip on the bottom of the boat. I've never used the putty that people talk about but have used marine tex many times. I'm wondering what all is involved with using the gel putty? I would be using it on the very bottom edge of the hull. Is the gel putty a filler and sealer in one? Does it require some type of top coat?

    Thanks

    That's it. Thank you.
    Have you ever used the putty?

    Gel putty is simply gel with some type of thickener added. It's far easier to work with than the thin gel. It requires no top coat of any kind. You just add the MEK catalyst, mix thoroughly, and apply. Then sand off the excess.

    Thank you, exactly what I was wanting to know.

    When I asked them for the gel putty, they said all they have is the regular gel. They sent me some and it worked but it was not way a putty.

    When I called in the lady told me they didn't have gel putty. I know to many people that have purchased it. I was adamant and asked her to check with someone else. She came back and said they do have it and it can be pre color mixed. The pint I ordered should arrive this week.
