[Paddlewise] Need Resin Repair Tips

Hello all,

I am doing some hull repair and touch-ups and would like some tips. 
First off, I'll be doing a bunch of gel-coat repair on the keel as 
well as fixing up some scratches. Once I have the gel-coat looking 
nice and pretty, I am going to lay down a fiberglass keel strip using 
polyester (?) resin. I got the resign from Current Designs and it is 
what they use. I have never used this type of resin before and am 
curious as to how it works. Is the ratio of catalyst the same for the 
resin as for the gel-coat, is it four drops per tablespoon?

For the strip, I was going to taper some fiberglass tape to a point. 
I figured I would roll it up, dunk it into a plastic cup with resin, 
then roll out on to the hull, squeegee and let dry and sand. Any tips 
here? Thanks!

-Patrick
