I have a 1981 Mac 25 which I have had since February. The top of the rear deck where the stern rail attaches has a lot of gelcoat cracks. I suppose the stern rail was hit with something. There are other areas on the boat that have gelcoat stress cracks and I want to repair them this winter. I will more than likely do a section at a time due to lack of time but after the repairs are made, should I apply gelcoat or should I apply paint. I picked up a pamphlet, at West Marine, by West System brand epoxy systems which tells me I can mix gelcoat with a clear low-viscosity resin that is not air inhibited so it will dry hard and tack free. Is that a good system for applying gelcoat? Should I apply gelcoat and spray with PVA to cure it? Have any of you sprayed gelcoat with good results. Should I paint with a two package polyurethane enamel? I look forward to your input.
