Ok today I learned how to fix a hole in a boat like this
<----
In reality, it wasn't that complicated. When i first took a look at the page of instructions, I was like "Oh no no no" but now I'm like "I can do this!".
Its basically just making the hole wider and concave, placing a backing, placing this stuff called roving (like a fabric almost) into the hole in layers and with resin and then topping it all off with a fiberglass cloth. Let it dry for 8 hours, take off the backing when its dry, add a layer of gel coating and cover with plastic wrap, wait 8 more hours, take off plastic wrap, smooth down the coating with sandpaper, buff and shine... done! Easy-peasy lemon squeezy.
Yeah... if you really are going to patch up a hole don't go by what i just said above because it is not detailed at all and you'll most likely do more damage than good.
