What materials do I need for a fiberglass boat repair?
Most fiberglass boat repairs require resin, fiberglass reinforcement, surface-preparation abrasives, fillers, fairing compound, application tools and a compatible gelcoat or marine-paint finish. The exact materials depend on whether the repair is cosmetic or structural and whether the damaged area contains a core material.
What filler should I use for a fiberglass repair?
Use Aerosil to thicken resin, Q-Cell for lightweight fairing, milled fibers or chopped strand for added reinforcement, bonding putty for joining parts, and fairing putty for smoothing surfaces. The correct choice depends on whether the repair requires strength, bonding or easy sanding.
