Gelcoat question

Hi Arnold,
How would you compare the looks of a painted boat to one sprayed with gel
coat?

Also, if you intend to use gel coat this way. make sure you add wax to the
gel coat. You can buy liquid wax from a grp supplier or you can use any
kerosene based wax (I use floor wax frequently). This is to inhibit air
from getting to the gel coat. The wax rises to the surface and blocks out
the air thereby alowing a full cure. If you omit this step, your gel coat
will remain tacky for a LONG time. But you can also wax the part liberally
after the gel coat has cured. This will also keep the air out but its an
extra step.
