Well, I had a mishap parking the trailer on our return from the Quartzsite Get Together. I scraped the exterior against the corner of my garage roof tile leaving a gouge in my gelcoat and exposing the material that lies beneath. It doesn't go all the way through the bonded wall but I will need to do something to repair it and keep water from infitrating the wall.
First, I don't truly understand the construction of the exterior walls. I think they are bonded and there are at least 2 layers of material including the gelcoat but that's all I know. I did read try searching and read through the first 15 pages of this section and couldn't find a post to help.
Anyway, anyone know of a DIY repair for this?
My first step will be tp remove the decals, which are faded and cracked anyway, to expose the severity of the damage and go from there. I have found some gelcoat repair kits online but would love to hear of anyone else has made this kind of repair before I start.
Thanks in advance for any thoughts.
