Well, it found me at the top of Keystone mountain between snowboard runs. Relaxed, maybe. Happy, definitely.
As to your question and Joel's post. Yep. I do know. I just repaired a Hobie 33 doing this. It may not suit your style but it works well. The Hobie repair was nearly invisible. Rent a gelcoat color book from Fibreglast.com. Compare the color samples to several spots on your boat at different sun angles. That is, morning, noon afternoon. Order a gallon of the color that matches best. If choosing between two, pick the darker. Two reasons: lighter than existing will look like a repair, darker will look like dirt or stain. Second, most gelcoats cure slightly lighter. You may balk at the $99 a gallon price but your results will be worth it. Dennis C.
