Your Boat’s Finish
3. Wash area with a solvent such as acetone and allow to dry.
4. Using Ranger touch-up gelcoat or putty only, thoroughly mix 1%
catalyst (MEKP) with desired amount of gelcoat or putty.
5. With a putty knife, trowel catalyzed gelcoat in desired area, leaving it
slightly higher than the original surface to allow for shrinkage.
6. When patch has dried, remove masking tape and carefully sand back
to the original shape using #600 grit WET sandpaper. Then buff with
a light duty buffing compound.
NOTE: Area may have to be filled more than once due to shrinkage.
NOTE: Due to different dye lots the color may vary somewhat. However,
we take all the steps to keep our color consistent.

Gelcoat will not cure by itself. You must use
a catalyst.
NOTICE
Do not hold buffer in one area long enough
to burn gelcoat.
NOTICE
These materials are very flammable. Do
not smoke or use electric equipment
while using them. Improper handling could result in an explosion
resulting in injury or death.
WARNING
Do not sand metalflake surfaces. A different
procedure is used to repair these finishes.
You should contact your Ranger dealer for more information.
