What’s the difference between a structural and cosmetic fiberglass repair?

Structural fiberglass repairs are required when damage affects the strength or integrity of the boat. This includes cracks, holes, impact damage, transoms, stringers, and load-bearing areas. These repairs use heavier fiberglass reinforcements and multiple laminate layers to restore strength.

Cosmetic fiberglass repairs address surface imperfections such as gelcoat cracks, scratches, chips, or small voids. These repairs focus on achieving a smooth, visually appealing finish rather than adding structural strength.
