Hi 
Please could you recommend a product for 

1. general patching of carbon or carbon/kevlar kayaks
2. applying a new gel coat to carbon or carbon/kevlar kayaks

I've been told that for a tough gel coat you can mix a polyester resin with a polyester gel coat 50/50  - is this something you would recommend?  If so, is it the same hardener used for gel coat and resin?

thanks
