Hello all,
I acquired a project 16ft fiberglass canoe this summer. It has a bunch of spider cracks and a small chip or two roughly 1/8th inch.
It also has an old polyester resin patch with added glass that is pretty rough.
I was hoping someone can offer some advice.
At first it thought I'd just spot fix each spider crack individually with polyester resin , sand down and smooth out the old patch and paint the entire hull with marine enamel...
I'm assuming polyester resin can be used as a coating layer and without any additional cloth being layed?
Then i thought maybe Id sand out the whole hull and give the entire thing a coating of epoxy and then paint...
But then i got the idea maybe i should just tint the poly resin and give the entire thing a fresh coat...
Suggestions/ideas?
