Default Filling a gouge below the water line
I have a very small amount of cloth showing thru. Anything quick to cure would be ideal. Epoxy with fibers? Marinetex?

this stuff hardened in 5 min and is cured in 1 hr. 12 bucks. Putting the boat in the water in an hour.

cant beat marinetex for those quick repairs. it even sticks to metal and is as strong as a weld when it hardens.

MArine Tex is my Duct Tape. Will fix all. Rebuilt my keel from many years of beaching and bad trailer(down to fiber.) A lot of prep and Awlgrip over top and good to go. Have used often below waterline on bigger boats I run. No Prob
