Cracks in canoe gelcoat
Hi, I just purchased a 24 year old fiberglass canoe for cheap. I have
repaired two holes with west systems epoxy and plan to paint with interlux brightsides linear polyurethane. My prob is as I started to sand one of the holes I repaired with the orbital sander, there has appeared several other star shaped cracks in the gelcoat. There is a bit of flex in the canoe hull where these showed up. Do I have to grind them out and epoxy or will the poly paint act as a sufficiant coating for calm river and lakd use?
