303 is not always available. You might try Armour All after almost
every trip. It works.
303 is good for latex and everything else but it is expensive to
lavish on a plastic hull after every trip.
I paddle a glass Capella that has a nasty star crack covering about 2
feet. I have to figure out how to fix that now. It is just gell coat.
I nust get some gell coat .
Gell Coat and , HMM a boyfriend with a garage....

It is expensive and sometimes hard to find, but you only need to put
it on a plastic hull couple of times a year, not after every trip.
FWIW
