"sherwindu" wrote in message ... Hi Arnold, How would you compare the looks of a painted boat to one sprayed with gel coat? Sherwin 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. Arnold |
