Gel Coat Repair

The damaged part of the tub is the bottom front corner and is hardly noticeable, measured out a little gel coat and then mixed with a few drops of hardener. I cleaned out the damaged area and cleaned with acetone, then I applied the gel coat to the repair and left over night. 

The gel coat set hard over night,I then shaped with different grade wet and dry paper, starting with 400 grade and then 800 and finally finishing with 1200. Once all of the scratches were removed with the wet and dry, I polished the gel coat with a blue pad and some 3M ultrafina polish. Will finish with a little wax later.
