Re: Fiberglass boat repair
You want something that’s hard enough to slide over the rough stuff easily. On a Fiberglas boat this strongly suggests epoxy. The problem with epoxy is that it never really stops curing, getting harder and harder and more and more brittle. Using it in combination with a Fiberglas mat helps prevent the cracking that can result and makes for a a very strong repair. The G-Flex epoxy from West Marine I mentioned maintains a slight flexibility that helps even further. It’s not a big job but only doing it once is better. Friends and I have used this on plastic kayaks with the exact same problem in your pictures. It works.
