I have used it to repair a crack on the grp front panel, it worked great.

Where are you going to use it, your dampness might be coming from where your rail ends are fitted, you find that these are sometimes not sealed. You should also try to put some pin holes in the area of the damp to let it escape, as it will only get worse if it is traped

We seem to have developed a few hairline cracks in the gel coat near our handles on the front and the back. I've just ordered some Captain Tolley's and am waiting for some dry weather !!! Like you I reckon if it works on boats then a caravan should be easy peasy !! Here's hoping !

Cheers Michael, I'll do that too I think. I was panicking about these as you read so many horrible stories on here but I don't think they are really serious as long as the water doesn't get in and they don't get any worse. Fingers crossed !

do a small test area and let it dry before doing all of it.

Brilliant ! Thanks to everyone from me too.
