[quote=klozhald]When repairing my rudders and centerboards, I use Solarez Extreme. It is a gel that goes on easily and can be hardened in the sun in 5 minutes. You can expose it for a minute and get it hard enough to shape with a razor blade, then expose it fully and sand it to final shape. You can gelcote over it if you like. It will be stronger than your original material. Watch the video to see how to use mylar to shape the repair.

On your hulls, to fix punctures, use the Solarez that is in the [b][i]blue[/i][/b] tube, as it will not melt the foam under the fiberglas.

I have been using these products for a long time now, and once had a guy on the beach pay me twice the cost of a new tube for a half full remnant.
You can permanently make a strong repair on the beach, working in the shade and then exposing it to the sun to harden. Amazing stuff.
