Minor GRP repairs
Minor scratches and abrasions may be removed by the use of a very fine abrasive rubbing compound.
More serious abrasions can be removed by the use of “wet or dry” abrasive paper, used wet. Do not
use anything coarser than 400 grade, and use progressively finer grades until the job can be finished
off with rubbing compound.

The outer gelcoat layer of the hull is less than 1mm thick. Hairline cracks within this layer.
seldom penetrate to the main laminate, but they should still be repaired as soon as possible.

Clean and enlarge the crack to a v-shaped groove using a pointed metal tool.

Brush out any dust.
•
Mix gelcoat and hardener in 50:1 ratio.

Press the mixed gelcoat and hardener paste into the crack.

Cover the repair with cellophane (such as Sellotape®) or waxed paper until it has hardened.
