Dezzer,
You'll get it down using very fine water paper.

Use more gel coat than you need. Then use wet & dry to get it all even. Before apply the gel coat clean v well and apply some acetone ( nail varnise remover ) to area concerned.

you could also tape the area surrounding the scratch so you dont rub too far away from the scratch.

hi lads,thanks for the tips,it worked out fine,thanks again jim,also nice tip iona,regards,dezzer...............
