how do you redo your bottom

Hey Missourisailor. See the thread entitled "Gel Coat". It talks about paint options. You can find it with the search option in the bar above.

If you have just a few scratches, you can fill them with gel coat. Cover with plastic to exclude air as it cures. Sand with really fine sand paper, then rubbing compound to get the original luster. Annapolis Performance sailing sells bright white, which matches the bottom of my '03 Laser. The deck is dove gray. Hope you have a heated work room to cure whatever finish you use.

Brenden, you should read the new "gel coat blisters" thread if you haven't done so already. A squeegee, why didn't I think of that?
