Comments about Gel Coat Scratch Patch:
Works best on hairline cracks/tiny chips. Would not recommend on big scratches/gouges as you have to let it dry completely or risk pulling it out when smoothing/blending. Temperature has big affect if not in recommended range.

Comments about Gel Coat Scratch Patch:
Used this to repair a REALLY big chunk that had been taken off by the previous owner when he dropped and anchor on the deck of a 21ft center console. The chunk was about the size of a 1/2 dollar and down to the base material.
I had tried to use this as directed but scraping it proved impossible, it would just pull most of the material right out. Having a background in automotive body work, I decided to try to add a small amount, let it cure (about a day) and add more, let it cure, etc. and build up the repair area. Worked like a charm. Built it up, took some 400 grit, sanded it down, took some 1000 grit, leveled it out, took some 2000 grit, started to polish it, some automotive buffing compound and a polish later, it looks pretty decent.
5 stars for decent price. 1 star for making me figure out the best way to use it and not having good directions on the package.

Followed cleaning instruction. Scrapped excess off after 15 min. drying time. Material kept pulling out of scratch. Tried several times with different drying times still pulled out of scratch.
