I've got a few hairline cracks in the non skid gelcoat in the head. Not sure what I can do about these if anything...

They are VERY hard to see from the pics.

Wonder if carefull application of gel coat from one of the gel coat patch kits wouldn't fix it? Maybe a few surgically placed skim coats? Fill in the hair line cracks and blend into the surrounding surface? I dunno, I've only done this with scrapes on smooth colored gel coat on a jet ski. Worked out well as I recall.

they are gel stress cracks, the only way to fix them so they wont come back is grind out the area all around them and re-gel them. its not anything bad going on and its just cosmetic.
