Many thanks Jerry, it's a great to have authoritative instruction from the namesake and builder of my first sailboat--the M10 is it! I think there is a number on the transom--will send it to you and see if you remember Ha!
I'll check with West Systems on the Awlgrip and hopefully get started very soon. I think there is enough info on Sean's site to help me with repairs if needed. I'm excited.

No wetsanding or buffing anmd i'll last much better in years of UV than silly old gelcoat, which is the way it is simply for speed of production.

I am still hoping for suggestions from anyone who is knowledgeable on the best way to restore the little boat's gel coat. The problems seem to be due to its having been outside propped up against a wall for some part of its 31 years. Are there kits have given good results? Any good books on procedures? What about preferred products and sources? I am completely inexperienced in these matters though Sean's beautifully documented projects offer some ideas. Are repairs with epoxy followed by paint a good solution? What's the best most durable marine paint? I want to do the best possible job. Any advice would be appreciated!
