There is a Youtuber at "Boatworks Today" who has detailed videos on that and many other related topics.
You should review his video list and bring note paper!
Trying to give you the finer points in writing is above my pay grade.

On one of Andy's youtubes on fixing gelcoat cracks he suggested using prethickened Gflex epoxy to allow some give.

See posts #3 and #7 for a few ideas:


If you can find pure white gel coat in your neighbourhood, it should be a perfect match. You'll only use a few drops so store the excess i the fridge. The stuff I use is now pushing 6-7 years and still in new condition.

You can get smaller size in their repair kit from Spectrum.
Here is their "How To" Video.

PS: It is the multiple grit polishing that brings back the shine.
