This stuff sounds great. I have a couple of questions. First, can it be applied to gel coat, or do you need to remove the gel coat? Second, is the stuff brittle? In other words, if you build up a fairly deep rub strip, will it break off if you wack it laterally? This might happen if, for example, you are carrying the boat and swing it around, accidently striking a post that some idiot put in the wrong place.
