Keep in mind I'm a mechanic, Not a paint/body guy, this video may anger or confuse a professional painter. I've been repairing various PWC hulls in a similar fashion for years now (Rentals), and the NanoXcel stuff takes a little different technique to make it last and look good.
In this video I show you what you need to know in order to make a lasting repair to your NanoXcel hull.
Don't be fooled into using standard talc or polyester based automotive body fillers, they can absorb water and cause all kinds of issues down the road.
