I bought a used kayak a year or two ago that had all its scratches and gouges filled with P-tex. The seller described its previous owner as "the mercurial sort" who didn't like scratches in his boat. The boat is red, but he used black and white P-tex. Looks pretty strange. He also did a poor job of cleaning/scraping the drips and overfilled cracks. I scraped it and wet sanded the boat with a random-orbital sander, and then passed a propane torch over the surface. Quite smooth now.
