So im fixing my hull and im getting to the finishing part . What is fairing resin? Do i need to buy it? I originally bought fiberglass resin jelly to finish it off before gelcote is this acceptable? It says waterproof

Oh boy what? Called 3m and spoke to tech and was told only difference between resin jelly and marine filler is theres vynl ester resin and the hardener is slower. said i could even mix in resin with the jelly to thin out
Oh boy

How did you fix the hole?

I hope not with jelly.
