Easy repair... Problem was, every time you repaired one and faired out the thin gelcoat, 2 more would surface. One of the things that got me frustrated into taking a 2 month leave of absence from working on the boat. Fiberglassing almost every day after work. But I finally got it done. Vinylester resin mixed with fiberglass powder to thicken it nicely, overbuilt, and sanded back down.
