1 - Delimit the work area to be treated.
2- Sand with coarse grit. We used an 80 on our bow.
3 - Use a flexible disk to follow the shape of the hull.
4 - A sanding pad allows precise and efficient work in curved shapes.
5 - Wipe with a cloth to remove dust from the area to be coated.
6 - Hide the contours of the area to be coated. This prevents the rest of the hull from getting dirty.
7 - Two-component polyester filler is used for filling. Dose according to the manufacturer's recommendations. Do not prepare too much product at a time as it dries very quickly (about 5 minutes).
8 - Coat with a soft spatula. These tools can be found in DIY stores, body shop equipment department.
9 - Let dry (about 1 hour depending on thickness) and sand with finer grain than at the beginning (120). Then dust and recoat as many times as necessary to obtain a smooth surface.
10 - Sand with finer and finer grain to obtain a perfectly smooth surface.
11 - Before you start painting, hide the area. Here we will paint with a brush so we don't need much protection. A spray paint would have required more protection.
12 - The paint is applied in at least 2 coats.
13 - The result is surprising. You can no longer see the big scratch at the beginning.
