Nod nod.

I used cabosil flakes to thicken the gelcoat where I had deeper gouges. Worked pretty well.

I would, however, like to go on the record to say that it is damn near impossible for an exact color match. The cabosil which claims to cause no color change makes a cream white mix slightly greyer then it was.

I didn't notice that the repaired area was any harder then the surrounding original gel coat. But I tried to make it as flush as possible while applying it and stuck with the high grits anyway. (after sanding through the gel coat in another area while thinking that certain scratches weren't deep enough to add matierial).
