what is the best way to put on gel coat if you do not have a sprayer? Will it run when put on the sides or bottom of the boat?

Guess I should have asked this question a different way. Is spraying the only way to apply gelcoat and will it run on the vertical sides or bottom of the boat? I am new to this and need all the help I can get. I am trying to repair a hole about 1' by 3' in my brothers 92 champion. It is mostly in the side but runs about 6" below where it bends back toward the bottom. I have most of the glass on now. Another question: can you use roven on the outside to help strengthen the repair?

Thanks for any help
