You're Welcome Craig, My Monty had quite a few shallow scratches, so does the Snipe (from Previous Owner) The Gelcoat patch has been good, seals off the original. Just go 'poco a poco' (little by little) put a small amount in, and let it set - no mixing required. Even the 'Admirable' can't tell where I've patched the Gel Coat and she 'knew' where the sins were. For the Monty, it was the 'Buff White' that color matched. he white white is for the other toys.
