After some further exchange of email with Pat at P&H, I have decided to follow the recommendations of their laminators and use gelcoat and 2" glass tape to replace the existing (worn out) keel strip.
The first layer will be clear gelcoat and tape, with a second layer of gelcoat that has black pigment added for a pretty finish and wax added so that it sets properly. I'll probably do the other repairs and the patching of the orange gelcoat first, so that the black gelcoat goes over the top of everything else.
To save on postage and to allow them to supply catalyst, I'm going to collect the materials from the Pyranha shop near Runcorn. The package should be ready for collection in the next week or so. I may paddle there rather than taking the car - the shop is very close to the Bridgewater canal.
