    Very small ding in clear coat

    New boat, probaly from a rock while towing. Just a very small ding in clear coat over metal flake. I would like to fill it in to prevent potential spreading or cracking. It is not something that can be waxed out. What do you guys recommend to fill? Just need a dab of something clear, two part epoxy? I looked at clear gelcoat but I got I lost at all the products, some need gloss additives some need hardeners, etc., also don’t need a quart or gallon.

    It says it does, supposedly one step application.

    Did it look something like this? Wondering if I could repair myself or not. Thanks for any info on how you did with yours.

    Started on it but undecided so far on results. Think the gel coat needs to cure for several days.

    You can hit it with some patch aid and it’ll go ahead and kick.
