Default 90 TopGun fiberglass repair

Been repairing some fiberglass damage to my 90 TG caused by radiant heat from a near by boat that caught fire. Have taken advantage of Glass Dave's hospitality via phone and text. Looking to post some pictures of progress and would like some input on gel coat and paint but posting permissions say cannot post attachments though I am a member?

How it looked in the beginning. It appeared to only be a 2'x3' delamination!

The more I grinder the bigger the delamination. No I am getting worried and losing confidence!
Everyone told me to just inject resin into the delamination but I had to go in and do some exploratory surgery.

Yes, I was told it was in dry storage for winter and the boat next to it caught fire.



This is the first piece ground off using a 36 grit lock attachment on grinder.
