[Alberg30] Hull Gelcoat repair

[George Dinwiddie]

Is your hull currently painted?  If so, with what?  Do you want to paint it?

Are there chunks of gelcoat missing?  If so, you'll want to fill those 
places whether you're going to paint or leave it bare.  There's no need 
to use gelcoat patch unless you're leaving it bare.  A filler putty will 
be much easier to handle.
