What's the best way to fix stress cracks in the gel coat want to use west system epoxy. Thanks JOHN

Grind them out with a grinder and fill with vinylester resin and glass mat,, their are several ways of doing it but in order to stop the cracking you willl need to get behind the area also and reinforce it..Gel wont stick to epoxy only paint will..vinylester resin is almost as strong as epoxy but a hel l of alot cheeper..

Will gel and paint stick to vinylester?

The area where the cracks are will be repainted in awlgrip or imron, not gel'd again.. That is the way I have always been told to do them, grind them or V them out, then fill, just looking for other ways also.. So i would assume that either one awl/imron should stick to the epoxy, already have the epox lol

as long as you get rid of the wax or use waxless it will stick..
