Did a repair job....filled the big stuff with West System Epoxy with a
little silica and finished with gelcoat...that was 12 years ago.
I didn't know then that gelcoat didn't adhere to expoxy.....but for some
reason, mine did.
Many years ago I bought a Kirby 25 which had VC 17 bottom paint....fresh
water boat now coming to salt water so what to do with the VC 17?
Everyone told me, including Interlux, that Micron CSC wouldn't adhere to
VC17....well, it did for me for the 10 years I raced the boat. Only
ever wet sanded and painted.

Be advised, Gel coat is Polyester based and will not adhere to epoxy,
but epoxy will adhere to polyester and or vinyl ester based
fiberglass. Gel coat will also work with vinyl ester based fiberglass.
