24/03/2019 13:02:00 Simon Geyman Posts: 12	Hi Mark As a non-technical person, please could you tell me how to mix the silica and gelcoat for chute groove repair? A google search gives many types of silica... which one should I get? And what ratio to mix with gelcoat? Many thanks Simon Tweet
24/03/2019 22:18:00 Mark Harrison Posts: 117	Hi Simon I used colloidal silica filler available from west or SP. I mixed up the gelcoat with the catalyst as normal wetted the area out and quickly added the silica to thicken it so it acted like peanut butter and applied. You have not got long so make sure you get every thing ready and to hand. regards Mark Tweet
24/03/2019 22:20:00 Mark Harrison Posts: 117	the silica means it does not dry to quite the same colour so try to keep it to just were it is needed and it is also much harder than the other gelcoat so try and reduce the amount of sanding back Tweet
