But the scars! It appears that the original name was spray
painted on. Apparently they masked the area, then cut out
the name, and painted it on. I've got knife marks that
will sitll show you the original name when you get close
enough to see it, say 2 feet or less. That won't do! Not
at all!
So, what can I use to fill in these knife marks? The hull's
white, so obviously matching the color shouldn't be a
problem. Looking through West Marine and Overton's, there
are some gelcoat repair stuff that might work, but will
they do the job of filling in the knife cuts? They don't
leak, obviously, but the darker 'glass shows. I need to
fill these in with white, but what? And before I put the
new name on Dream Catcher. Heck, I can't even de-christen
her until I get these marks taken care of. Got to remove
all traces of the old name, you know?
SO, what should I use? If possible, I'd appreciate part
numbers in either Overton's or West Marine's catalog or
web sites so I can see what one of the myriad items you're
talking about. Pointers to other web sites will be just
as good.
Haaaaaaaaaaaaalp!
