Default Chips in SV27 hull!

What is best for filling cracks and chips in my fiberglass hull? Putty or epoxy? Thanks for the help

epoxy is the best.
why "chips" are you talking about like a scar on the boat or a chip like broken off pieces

Both! I had to sand the boat down because of an ugly paint job. I got a few but nothing major as it did not leave holes. I also need to smooth out scars as well. More sanding or some sort of putty? Also what epoxy? I currently have a new kit of "Epoxy 30."

If you plan on repainting the boat (as I assume you will) you will need to use a color coat of primer. By this I mean to use contrasting primers to find the high spots so that when you sand it back things will be flat.

I epaired the chips. Doesn't even look like they were ever there. Thanks again!
