I was hoping someone could help with tips on repairing gelcoat. Pics below show the repair area.
I found a small crack in gelcoat this evening. When I pressed on the crack it leaked out water. I chipped away a little of gelcoat and found soaked glass underneath. I sanded away some more gelcoat that easily flaked off. It seems like I could sand more gelcoat away on the top of repair area because it does not seem to be well adhered to glass underneath.
I know I need to let the glass dry for at least a week, it is pretty soaked. I am not sure what products to use for the repair though. Was planning on using a few layers of sanding resin or solares to make waterproof again, then finishing with a couple layers of white spray lacquer or enamel.
Am I going in the right direction? Should I just take this to a pro? Does anyone know what a pro might charge for a repair like this? Any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
