Hi,

I just noticed that I've got chips in the comp tip of my mast. The pictures below are the best I could get - but the chips are just in the outer layer of material - not entirely through the tip. What material should I use in the chipped areas to keep the chips from getting deeper or spreading?

thanks!

Grey Marine Tex. Or a good marine epoxy like West Systems, that you paint black when you're done.
