Hello Paddlers: Seeking your experience and input. My Necky kevlar kayaks are showing their age and wear: keel wear through the gel-coat to the undercoat, not fabric; deck is weathered and dusty looking; heel wear inside the cockpit into the resin(?). Is West Marine a reliable place to the gel coat repair suplies? Any suggestions on how to be successful at it? Your recommendations on rubbing compound for the deck and subsequent protectant, wax(?) or "303"? Heel wear on kevlar. i remember reading that the resins are not compatable with fiberglass. True/False? Again is West Marine a good source for repair supplies/products? any other suggestions? Appreciate your response. Feel free to contact me of line or back line as appropriate. Thank you.
