Default another gelcoat story


Next step...................get some Prestec 2481 and brush it on and
start sanding again. Gotta do this before the WX turns here in
Washington and we start the rainy season.

Bad luck with the gelcoat Brad, I would sand everything down with 80
grit, Prime with PCL Polyprimer (907 white), then sand with 220 and
spray on acrylic urethane (PPG concept super white), 4 flow coats then
block sand after 18 to 24 hrs with 600w, then 800w use dye-coat, then
let it cure for 3 days before buffing it out with liquid buffing
compound and a wool pad turning at about 1700 rpm. Gel coat was never
intended for airplanes, urethane was/is!

PS, do it before you need propane heat!
