B. Preparing the Surface
1. Remove as much of the wrinkled area as possible
with a putty knife.
2. Remove the rest of the wrinkled area by block
sanding smoothly with 100 grit sandpaper.
3. Clean the area thoroughly with a white cloth saturated
with acetone.
C. Preparing the Patch
1. Make a smooth, thick manageable putty by mixing
Cab-o-sil and a matching gel coat. Mix thoroughly
until all lumps have been removed.
IMPORTANT
if all lumps are not removed from the putty they will trap air that in turn
will leave tiny pin holes in the area being patched. The lumps also will
appear as white spots in the patched area.
2. Add catalyst to the putty in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions. Mix thoroughly so that no
uncured spots will occur in the patched area.
D. Applying the Patch
1. Apply the putty smoothly over the damaged area with
a rubber squeegee.
2. Cover the area with cellophane and allow putty to
cure.
E. Sanding the Patch
Block sand the patched area with 100 grit sandpaper to remove
excess putty and to restore the original contour of the area.
F, Spraying the Patch
Spray-finish the patched area with a matching color. For
the proper finishing procedure see Section 6.4.
