It's a gel coat repair kit that includes coloring agents. I used it to repair some chips on my Sunfish. The stuff is incredibly toxic. I think I'd rather have chips in my gel coat than to have to work with that stuff again. I have used epoxy resin before. This is polyester. Either polyester resin is more toxic than epoxy resin, or I just have more of a reaction to it. I used a respirator with an organic vapor cartridge, but the few fumes I did inhale caused some constriction and itchiness in my throat. In addition, my eyes burned from being around the fumes. This was outdoors with a breeze. Charles Neuman On Thu, 17 Jun 2004, kendall wrote:
