per (either wet or dry) until the scratches
are smooth. Then, sand the scratches
once again with 600 grit sandpaper (either
wet or dry).
Deep scratches
1. Remove any sharp or rough edges from
the hull surface.
2. Sand the scratches and a 1-inch circum-
ference around them with 80 grit sandpa-
per (either wet or dry).
3. Clean the entire area with acetone and let
it completely dry.
4. Mix gel-coat and gel-coat thickener to form
a putty, and then add the catalyst to the
putty.
5. Apply the putty, spread it with a squeegee,
and then cover the putty with wax paper.
6. When the putty has set, sand it. Smooth
the area with 80–400 grit sandpaper
(either wet or dry) and a sanding block.
7. Clean the area with a dry cloth and then
polish it.
