Epoxy over Gel coat troubles
I am repairing a fibreglass hull that has quite a few hairline cracks
and deep gouges over the hull. I sanded the hull using 180 grit wet & dry and cleaned out the gouges using a small grinder. The hull has been left to thoroughly dry for a few weeks after a good cleaning, and then wiped over with acetone. I have applied some epoxy resin over a small ares to test, the idea was for the resin to weep into the hairline cracks and gouges to seal them before applying any required filler. I used a roller to apply the resin to the hull and it looked good for a couple of minutes, then it all went wrong. The resin formed hundreds of little globules/islands and no amount of brushing or using a roller would give me a smooth even coat. What has happened??? Regards Bruce |
