Developed a small hairline crack in the deck at the rear of the daggerboard well. Just back of the carpet.

This was recommended from catalog:
Quote:
GEL COAT REPAIR PUTTY Use to fill nicks, dings, and scratches. It is the best way to smooth the hull. Blends in perfectly. Will not sag. Must be mixed with catalyst to harden. 1.25 oz. Order catalyst separately.
8006610 White

My question is, where's the catalyst listed and part number? Can't find it.

Can post a pic. This appears to be a high stress area and extra reinforcing would probably help...

We can't sell / ship catalyst. You can get it from Lowe's, Home Depot, West Marine... MEK. Methyl Ethyl Ketone.

To clarify Matt's post, get the clear, watery stuff in a clear tube, not the "cream hardener" that colored (it's Methyl Ethyl Ketone Peroxide)

OK, thanks. I assumed this was the case. If it doesn't state it, I just usually ask questions.
