Author	Topic:   Cracks in Gel Coat
mikejoyce77	posted 10-30-2007 07:40 PM ET (US)         I have hair line cracks in my gel coat on my 1979 SPORT 15. What is the best way to repair these cracks? Thanks. mike

I think the general consensus is that to absolutely fix them, you have to grind them out and fill them in with gel coat. Not something I'm willing to do, especially if there are humdreds of little cracks... This seems to be a very common thing and not really a problem worth worrying about.
