The interior, including all lockers, ice box, and the bilge, should be washed with 
warm water and a mild detergent . The bilge in particular should be kept free of 
dust, fluff and other debris that accumulates there.  

GELCOAT REPAIRS  

Gelcoat is the pigmented layer of polyester resin that forms the outer skin of all 
molded fiberglass components of your boat. To repair minor scratches, chips and 
abrasions in this Gelcoat, the procedure is:  

1.  Ideally, all such repairs should be carried out in dry conditions with the air 

temperature between 65°F and 70°F.  

2.  Thoroughly sand the damaged area with No. 80 dry sandpaper.  
3.  Clean with acetone. This is highly flammable and usually obtainable from 

a drug store. It should be used and stored with appropriate caution.  

4.  Place an appropriate quantity of Gelcoat on c clean piece of wood or 

cardboard. Catalyst should then be added. At 65°- 70° F. a teaspoonful of 
Gelcoat requires 3-4 drops of catalyst to effect a reasonably rapid cure. 

Mix together until it is apparent that the Gelcoat is thickening.  

5.  The Gelcoat should then be laid into the scratch or chip and smoothed. 

The surface of the repair should be slightly higher than the surrounding 
Gelcoat. This should be left to cure until it is quite hard. If a clean piece of 
polyethylene is laid over wet Gelcoat to exclude air, this will hasten the 
curing. In the case of deep scratches, it may be necessary to build up 
successive layers of Gelcoat. If working on a vertical surface, allow the 

Gelcoat to thicken sufficiently to prevent running before applying.  

6.  When completely cured, the repaired, raised surface should be sanded 

initially with No. 100 dry sandpaper using a sanding block until it is almost 
level with the surrounding gelcoat. It should then be sanded with No. 400 
waterproof Sandpaper, using plenty of water until it is level. Great care 

should be taken not to rub away the Gelcoat around the repair.  

7.  When all is level, sand again with No. 600 waterproof sandpaper and 

plenty of water.  

8.  The repaired area should then be buffed with a fine rubbing compound. 

When buffing, apply considerable pressure. Polishing with a proprietary 

fiberglass polish such as "Trewax" will produce a high gloss.
