Saran wrap can sag especially on the vertical - I've had good luck using discarded xray film - or something similar if you don't know a radiologist. On mine they took hull which is grey and boot stripe which is blue together so I'm going to just fill and then touch up with hull paint and buff it out - I saw it done at a boat yard I was at last week and you almost couldn't tell it was painted when they were done.

Looks like a good project to learn about gel coat repair. Fill and sand. Then apply gel coat and cover with plastic wrap.. If it comes out bad . Then sand back and paint instead. If you dont have a paint job planned and the gel coat is otherwise in good shape then repair the gel coat.

The attached shows the damage to the starboard corner of the transom. Been reading Casey, West System and surfing the net looking for information. One approach sand edges of damaged area to a beveled edge, apply filler (resin+hardener+fairing filler), sand then paint. Any thoughts, ideas? Dave N Impulsive Guilford, Ct
