Last year I renovated a 1970 17',
that was in extremely poor condition.
I redid dozens of poorly done FG repairs,
the type that are slapped on without proper gelcoat grinding prep,
and can be peeled off with a razor blade.
Of course after paint,
the 3 spots that I didn't fix,
had the slightest beginnings of cracking.
Now they're completely ground down and re glassed,
but sucks to have obvious patches when I knew better.
Fortunately it's more a work boat than a show boat.

For repairs I used the west systems slow cure,
a combo of mat and cloth depending on thickness,
and system 3 quick fair epoxy filler for smoothing.
A proline epoxy primer on the inside,
with roll and tipped awlgrip LP whaler blue.
