TOPIC: 2nd post 1st question..

Hello All,

The first question I'd like to ask is regarding the massive "spider" like cracks all over the lid. Please excuse me if my terminology is a little foggy or totally off. By Lid I'm referring to the top portion of the boat where it's married to the actual hull. In my case at least a portion of it seams to have been made from a rigid ply wood product and simply covered with what I consider Gel-Coat. I've searched through most of the main forum and can't find the remedy to this specific problem. Might be a common OLD BOAT issue but I can't find the topic, sorry. Anyway, based on what I have found I plan on correcting the issue this way:

A). Aggressively sanding the area starting with 220, 320, etc..
. Filling any unwanted holes with Gel-Coat filler product.
C). Re-coating the entire "lid" surface with normal Gel-coat.

I'm adding some pics of an area with the "spider" cracks and an example of a couple of average size holes I'd like to fill. In Pic # 2 it would be the hole under the toggle switch.

So my question is this. Am I on the right track regarding how I should proceed with the fix?

Thanks in advance.
