gelcoat!!! Truth and facts!!!

[2manymustangs]

Time to get to the real truth here....the real Facts...

First... how to apply gel coat...
I think this is the fact...
The only way to apply gel coat the right way is in the mold.. covered by the layers of fiber glass,
gel coat must be spayed at just the right mixture and thickness, and even in the mold things will happen,... I think it's called Creep... or some thing like that, that you will find when the hull is popped from the mold... when the deck is sprayed,.. the top is the deck is the lowest point,all the low corners get whats called puddling , that's where the gel gets too thick,.. and that's where you will get stress cracks down the road..

gel is not that flex able, too thick and it will crack.. too thin and the uv rays will kill it in the sun and cause fading and deterioration of the gel

Right???

Right.... so you spray the seal layer of GEL after you sand out the checking OR any repairs, thin seal coats, long board, and then use premium automotive epoxy primer as a sealer and high build/base clear system on top, and it will hold its shine FAR FAR FAR FAR longer than a poly resin gel coat finish can...
