Yesterday, My friend Rick and I brought all four of our collected Sunfish down to the lakeside to work on. We looked at my new, green Sunfish acquisition for chip repair. Rick knows a bit about this having numerous boats of all types. He got out the Dremel and started grinding a channel to add gel coat. Well, he found a soft spot and we decided to grind it out and created a couple of holes that are about a half inch each. These are going to need fiberglass repair, I'm guessing. The gel coat seems pretty thin in this area, overall. I'm hoping for some advice on this issue before proceeding. Should we try to glass inside and out and is there a size/thickness of fiberglass fiber we should use? Also, should we try to gel coat the areas that seem thin? As always, advice and knowledge is much appreciated!
