Article Category: Automotive

Author Name: Danny Domer

Boat fiberglass damage could happen as a result of a storm, an accident, beaching or docking while its gel coat gets harmed by means of nicking, breaking or scratching. However you do not have to be afraid as there are tools and parts that could be used to do the required repair, having your fiberglass boat look brand-new again.

The first thing to do would be to examine how bad the damage is so that you can evaluate whether the boat can be fixed in the house or should be done by a professional. If the gel coat is ruined with the fiberglass, an expert must do the repair in a shop. He would then examine the entire damage to establish if it is structural or not. If the damage is done only on the gel coat, the next action must not be skipped.

If the damage on the gel coat is a scratch, you will should purchase a gel coat repair kit. Get an utility knife and create the letter "V" on the scrape. The resin of gel coat is extremely thin and can not fill a small scrape. The paste of gel coat is extremely thick, therefore it will simply bridge the scratch and not penetrate it triggering a void. As you prepare the scratch, do not cut the matting of the fiberglass.

When the damage is a gouge or is due to an influence, take the affected gel coat off from the border. If the loose or damaged coat is at the repair work's border, it shall fracture and must go through repair the 2nd time at the precise spot. You will certainly have to make the broken area rough by making use of 80-grit sandpaper.

Prepare the broken location then place enough amount of resin in a paper cup that is waxed. Spot coloring brokers on the resin till it is 1/2 a shade darker than your damaged area. When you are satisfied with the resin's color, get a sufficient amount of hardener per directions in the repair work kit of the gel coat. Get a scrape or plastic spreader to slowly place resin on the afflicted area. Do not trap air bubbles while fixing.

The repair should bulge a bit at the back of the spreader. As the resin remedies, it will shrink. Ensure the repair does not bulge much as you will need to sand much more later on. Take off excess paste further from the patch location.

Get waxed paper on the entire location after filling the repair work location. If needed, use tape for securing functions. The resin should harden as shown in your gel coat repair work instructions. Sand the affected location till it ares with the gel coat's surface after the repair location has solidified and looks flushed with the areas around yet feels a little bit raised when touched.

Get a bowl of clean water and dip your 400-grit sandpaper to moisten it. Sand your repair work location till it smoothens. When the sandpaper is wet regularly, it shall take off the product of the gel coat from the sandpaper. It also avoids damage to the fixed area. If the water becomes much tarnished and the bowl's bottom could not be seen, change with fresh water.

Get 600-grit sandpaper, dip it into a bowl of clean water then sand your repaired location till it is very shiny. Continue wetting the sandpaper if needed so regarding get optimum results. Pour out water from your bowl if it gets too blemished and then place clean water once more. Follow this up with primer coat.

Once you follow these actions, you will see your boat fiberglass and its gel coat appear brand-new again.
