Mix resin with
Thickening powder . Use spatula . To follow contours of hull.mix big batch up. Take what you require out. Add hardener . Fix chips, make hot mix this time of year. Easy solid as. It won't come off.

just a bit nieve here but when you say hot mix do you mean to actually heat it up in a pan of some sort. bit of a stupid question i know

Nice work
That's quite neat LJ. How did you respray the bits hidden by trailer rollers/skids?
A fish in the hand is worth 10 in the water!

Get one I can
On old trailer don't care about overspray. Goes on car hoist with slings , for 3 bits I couldn't get to, used car jack and blocks while on trailer to lift most of boat. Easy to blend paint . Can't wait for sea trials. Andy won't know himself .
