Re: 1996 Regal 17.6 Avanti restoration using composite materials
I am planning on adding one layer of 24 oz roving (epoxy resin) to my entire floor (surface veil). I will let this cure for one weak (Duratec's recommendation). Then I will wash the floor with soap and scrub pad (this removes any amine blush from the epoxy). Next I will sand with 80 grit. Then the Duratec gets applied. The Duratec will be guide coated and blocked out to get rid of imperfections. Finally the Gelcoat will be applied. I am planning on using a dump gun ES-100. It has a size 6 nozzle an spray the lower viscosity Gelcoat. The cheapest I have seen the ES-100 was at US composites for $119.00. With the patch aid I may be able to use a cheaper $15.00 gravity feed gun found at any automotive store? The final step will be to buff out the Gelcoat. Now I just need to wait on supplies and some warm weather.
Wish me luck!
