Village Idiot Posted August 19, 2007 Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 what do you mean by dimples ....dents or little tiny air bubble type holes in the paint???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard campbell Posted August 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 Sorry I mean dents as if you have pushed your thumb into the hull any suggestions would help thanks richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted August 19, 2007 Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 I wouldn't heat it up you could delaminate the hull( the resin bonding the kevlar /glass ) the only option is to fill and fair it using Q cells or microballons then touch up the paint ,putting heat onto a point on the hull it not really a recommended method of removing dents ,,,If unsure take the boat to a fiberglasser or boat builder for advise...........
