As long as the Kiwi-Grip will stick to the repair (if done with epoxy w
fillers), I do not care.
Probably need to check with Kiwi-Grip to see if its compatible.
Thanks,

If your going to kiwi grip it anyway, why worry about gelcoat?

I managed to crush a 2" x 4" portion of my aft deck on both sides
recently.
I have cleaned out the balsa core and removed the fiberglass/gel coat pieces on
top and need to fill it in (its about 1 inch deep) and then, eventually, cover
it with the Kiwi Grip that
was on it pre-crushing.
I have done a lot of fiberglass construction with epoxy and thought I would mix
up a batch with some cotton fiber filler and just fill the hole.
Alternatively I could wet a bunch of fiberglass tape I have with epoxy and then
top this off with some thickened epoxy.
Then I read about gel coat repair and it says that this won't adhere to an
epoxy repair so I maybe I should fill the holes with thickened
gel coat so that eventually some Kiwi Grip will stick to it.
I need to fill it this weekend before the balsa core gets wet from rain, etc.
although I have put a thin coating of epoxy on the balsa to protect it
temporarily.
What advice does the list have for such a repair?
TIA,
