In Response To: Material: Gelcoat repair on kevlar hull (Doug Manfred)

I have used the same gel coat on fiberglass and kevlar boats without a problem. The real trick is getting the two part gel coat mix right. I finally settled on a single drop of catalyst (MEK Peroxide) in a 1/2 teaspoon of gel coat for small batches.
