Quick tip for goo.
Buy some toluene/toluol , I get it from local home hardware. Squeeze out some goo into dish, add some toluene to thin to where you like it.
Can add dye at this point too.
Application is easier when it’s thinned slightly. If the repair is showing, lightly brushing the cured goo with toluene will smooth out any imperfections. Light hand, and patience is key.
