Frequently asked questions
- How long does fiberglass hull repair take?
- A simple gelcoat ding can be done same-day. Larger fiberglass laminate repairs typically take 3–10 days because layups need cure time between layers and final fairing/painting.
- What is hull osmosis and is it serious?
- Osmotic blistering happens when water permeates the gelcoat over years and reacts with hull resins. Surface blisters are cosmetic; widespread blistering can require peeling and re-laminating the entire hull below the waterline — typically a $10K–$40K job.
- Can a hull repair be invisible?
- A skilled gelcoat technician can match color and finish so closely that repairs are nearly undetectable. Sun-faded gelcoat is harder to match exactly; many yards recommend a partial topside paint to even things out.
