    A gel-coat repair on a British boat??  I never heard of such a thing!  
Are you sure it isn't just a (British) scratch? Gel-coat on British boats is 
normally quite thick. I leave my dings and scratches there for the word to 
see as a tribute to fine British craftsmanship.
    I used to repair every scratch and chip that flew off my previous Kevlar 
boat. Now I just chuckle with every new gouge and scrape, knowing that a 
lesser boat would be sporting holes at those points.
