>> I think the biggest problem in this process is that after all that work sanding.... you still need to wait a bit to ensure the hull is dry.   A moisture meter would probably help speed things, but encapsulating moisture in the hull will only lead to trouble in the future.  sigh.
>> I think any of the products you mention will work nicely.  The trick is feathering the edges to give good purchase and a clean look.
