WaYoop---how to add color to marine tex?

[DAnderson]

Thanks for responding to my post about fixing chip in my bow. I've looked at Marine Tex site. How to add color to it? Thanks.

I got mine at West Marine. You can get it in two little tubes that is a dark gray. They sell a black pigment that you can add.

I used some gray on my white hull, thought it wouldn't show, but it does when on the trailer I got the white after that

So, check out any marine supply stores you have in your area, they should be able to set you up. I believe Marine Tex is classified as a hazardous material, so the shipping cost is prohibitive.

Best of luck.

West Marine also sells Gel Coat paste, which is translucent. They sell tints for coloring the paste, also. I guess you can use the tine for coloring Marine Tex.

I've been using the paste to repair chips and gouges in the boat I bought. It is black, so it's not too hard to match. Mix it, dab it, sand it, compound it, wax it. Done.

Sounds like another good way to fix it
