I've doing a search of the forums...again...and need more help Do I have to completely remove all gel coat before placing epoxy fairing compound and resins with fiberglass tape on to fill the craters/holes?

Will placing the epoxy fairing compounds and resins over the defects just tie in ok? I don't want to sand all the gel coat off cause it isn't all that bad...

I have a number of different levels of repair...some rotten areas, some just spyder cracks,

sorting this out. here is a thread that is akin to my issue/concern:
