We've had our TC stored in an unheated shed for the winter. We've done this without problems for the 5 yrs that we had it. We've just moved to a new house with a shed (another post to follow).
We found round circles of "bubbles along the bottom edge of the drivers side. They are all approximately 1-2 mm in size. Just here and there in small bunches. Very odd. DH is concerned with water intrusion. Took it to a body guy and he said for the time being, cover it with nail polish. It will cost about 1K to repair. Have you ever seen this before? It's no where else on the TC.
as you can see, it's under the sticker. Any ideas why this happened? How would you repair it?
If these are not the proper size, would you please assist.

Good part is that gellcote is not that hard to repair.
I've been working with epoxy resins starting at the age of 11 (what was some time ago) but it wasn't till this spring that I took canoe restoration project and resprayed new gellcote.
It went way better than I expected and having couple of repairs on the camper, I sprayed those over as well.
Camper did not get much of prep as canoe was the project, but now I see that once you solve the problem under the siding, it is pretty easy to make the repair invisible.
For small repairs you can mix gellcote and apply it with small brush, or even small wood stick.
