Estimating guide for
gelcoat blister repair &
coating products
Estimates are based on a
moderate displacement sailboat. For full keel boats or
power boats, add approximately 10% to the product
quantity. Quantities assume
a 5 or 6 coat buildup. You
may find it more economical
to purchase supplies in larger
quantities. Your actual usage
may vary.
