Might come In handy

[@IgorLjevak]

Awesome video! Question tho i Have only hole here and there and if i use the brush Will the brush strokes be visible in the gel coat

[@ACTIONDANhero]

in the past ive filled holes, let it harden then sand. but noticed rings appear weeks later from what i guess is the hole filler doing its last little bit of hardening/shrinking. Dose this form of filler really not need to be left for a few days to fully harden before sanding?

[@DIYeasycrafts]

I guess it depends on the type of filler you used. I have not really seen any shrinkage on the holes I filled. Used Bondo with Fiberglass strands from home depot

[@rickydavis1903]

I know this post is from a year ago. But I was wondering if you can drill through these holes you repaired? Will it be weak or the same as a new spot on the boat? Thanks

[@hsanguily]

Next saturday i will do exactly all this
Let you know. 😁👍

[@DIYeasycrafts]

Did it work?

[@hsanguily]

@@DIYeasycrafts .Wife changed my plans 😣( as usual) . Will try this saturday . 😁👍

[@outlawflyer7868]

Did you use the long-strand or short-strand Bondo?

[@DIYeasycrafts]

Short its much easier to use and plenty strong for this application

[@RussellIrwin-uk6vq]

I see you have the gel coat already mixed. Did you color match that before? If not how did you get the color correct?

[@DIYeasycrafts]

No I bought and used the same gel coat I used on the deck and gunnels

[@RussellIrwin-uk6vq]

@@DIYeasycrafts got it. So you used the gel coat on the entire boat as you were redoing the whole boat. I am trying to match white gel coat on a spot to match the rest of the existing gel coat boat just so the repair looks fairly unnoticeable. Any advice on that? Thx!

[@roygumpel8415]

Sounds like woody Allen!!

[@joshdull6671]

Should I be using bondo glass or bondo hair

[@DIYeasycrafts]

I like the bondo glass but either will work

[@donaldo5526]

You didn't mention if you did the same work on the other side of the whole...

[@rickysmith6772]

Some of those spots are impossible to get to the back of it

[@CapnCody1622]

If you’re not able to get to the back, is it the same process? Just stuff the putty in and sand down once it’s hardened?
