Title: Gelcoat colour
Post by: Magic Dragon (Guest) on 08 Jul 2008, 09:18
Does any one know if it is possible to buy gelcoat filler, the same colour as the Design eight gelcoat?
The water in our lake has nearly gone, so i thought i'd give the hull a good tidy up, but don't fancy tring to match the off white colour several times over........

Speak to David Hall at Ovington Boats, they can supply a matching pot of gelcoat

i would call Ovington Boats direct on  +44 (0)191 257 6011 or speak to Alan Bax or Tom Stewart at P&B on 01604 592808.  They both owned Design 8s for quite a while and will have a good understanding of the problem.
