Re: fixing stress cracks ?
You have to take the grinder and take off the gelcoat and slightly grind the fiberglass where the cracks come from. Then rebuild with fglass + gelcoat. Done deal! Some poeple just put gelcoat on the cracks but the cracks will come back in a short period of time. and if it is under water, you dont want the water to go there!
