Hello,

you will need a waxing agent or Duratec in the final coat to make it sandable. Its best to spray it with a Duratec gloss additive but it is possible to roll it on with good results. Where is the area at on the boat?

I use Pre Vale's all the time. They are great for small touch ups. 10 x 10 is pushing it but yea its certainly do able with the little pre vale unit. Good idea. You should be able to get away with just a waxing agent and acetone. Alecsammy what part of the country are you in?
