 Re: Jell coat
anything you put will eventually chip and will have to be reaplied. You can go with polymer, but that will be expensive, but each to their own.

 Re: Jell coat
Ya I dont really mind reapplying it only takes about 30 minutes to get my boat flipped over. So I'm just wanting something cheaper to put on there.

 Re: Jell coat
Never tried it but hear good reports on frog spit or steelflex. Its like an epoxy.
