    Gel Repair... Marine-Tex vs. ???

    Seems like nobody in my area or within 100 miles carries Marine-Tex. Has anybody used comparable products and been happy with the result? Is Evercoat a good brand to use or should I stick with Marine-Tex?

    Also, when adding pigment to Marine-Tex is Evercoat the only brand that sells separate pigments?

    Thanks!

    Marine Tex can be purchased online at several retailers such as West Marine or Boat Owners Warehouse. Evercoat is the pigment that Marine Tex recommends. I have tinted Marine Tex with Evercoat pigment and had good results. The only drawback is that is slows the cure down. Make sure you give it enough time to dry.

    one of the best properties of marine-tex is it does flow too much. some patching products are too think. M-T is a great product. just order it online. heat the patched area up before applying and use mylar to cover the area. the heat the area to assit the cure time [or let it sit over nite].
