"Spider cracks"

[cliffpaul2]

I'd like some advice on repairing spider cracks. I'm only assuming that is the right term for what I have on the surface of the gel coat. Please take a look at the last picture in my gallery (mine is the latest one that was posted and is on page 4). I took a close up picture of the problem. I got some gelcoat and I'm ready to go to work on some of the larger cracks, but...

Thanks in advance,
Cliff

Cliff,
There's a good video on gelcoat repair from bennett marine.

You'll have to dig out the cracks, sand with a folded piece of paper, acetone, tape off the crack, use a tooth pick to apply to gelcoat into the crack, spray on a PVA wax, let dry, and wet sand.
