Gouges out of Gel Coat w/Flake

[Rodney]

We have a brand new boat and left parked on dock without knowing a bolt was sticking out of the dock. 5-6 nice gouges out of Blue Flake down to the white. What do we do????? How do we match color!! ect ect

YOU CAN GET YOUR DEALER TO ORDER YOU FLAKES TO MATCH YOUR HULL ID NUMBER. DO THIS WHETHER YOU FIX YOURSELF OR TAKE TO SOMEBODY. IF YOU WISH TO FIX YOURSELF SAND THE AREA AND PUT SOME NUETRAL GELCOAT IN THE GOUGE, WHILE STILL WET TAKE A PIECE OF CARDBOARD OR PAPER AND BLOW SOME FLAKES INTO THE WET GEL. ONCE THIS IS DONE LET IT SIT A WHILE, THEN COME BACK AND START FILLING OVER THE FLAKES WITH THE NUETRAL GELCOAT. ON THE LAST COAT ONCE THE FLAKES ARE COVERED GOOD BE SURE YOU SPRAY FROM A MIST BOTTLE SOME MOLD RELEASE AGENT ON THE WET GEL. THIS WILL MAQKE IT GET HARD LIKE THE REST OF THE BOAT IS. IF YOU DON'T IT WILL ALWAYS STAY TACKY FEELING. HOPE THIS HELPS!
