Re: At the gelcoat stage - help needed!!!
Thanks Ondarvr for explaining that for me.
I was planning on repeating the squeegee step , but certainly not with the brushing gelcoat I originally used. I will wait untill I purchase the sprayable gel and possibly even thin it slightly, ( all depending on the original viscosity ) and hopefully it wont add to the high spots like it did on my first attempt. Hopefully be at this stage by next week.
Water was mentioned because most house paints are latex based and water is used for clean up, water will only create problems if used with other types of paint.
The areas where you sanded back down to raw glass will need to be pre-coated before spraying the gel coat. Raw glass will have small pin holes and other small imperfections that may not be covered easily and create defects in the finished surface. The squeegee mathod works well to pre-coat these spots.
