Thanks Cor,!
Dozerll, I'm not the best at the videos, but I am getting better. Hopefully it helps make more sense out of what I am talking about in terms of the process. I was thinking that I need to send seacast some pics of this method....who knows, maybe it might become a option for them. Beats redoing the gelcoat for sure.
I didn't get as much done as I wanted to this weekend....but I wasn't all the motivated, think I need some time off. Here is what I did get done after the seacast pour, over the weekend and tonight.
Saturday I grownd down the top of tthe forward bulkhead, and radiused it. I also cleaned up the transom where we poured in the secast, and also the motor mount. I also knocked down the nibs on the glass over the self leveling seacast....and generally cleaned up where I spilled secast. After that I blew all the dust out. That night I was going to cut out the last of the below deck glass and tabbing. But right as I started we had heavy storms heading this way with small torndaos....so i retreated to the house (close to the cellar
) So sunday I laid out the tabbing / glass.
I wet out part of it, then just hung out on Monday. I wet out the rest of it tonight.
There are a few spots that look like air, but its actually the spilled seacast that I sanded smooth. I figured why knock it all the way down since it and fiberglass both bond to each other well. The motor mount isn't going anywhere by the way
Tonight I played with the gelcoat some after wetting out the glass. the plan is to wet sand with 1000, then 1500 grit. After that follow up with 3M super duity compound and finish it with 3M finesse it II compound. Turned out pretty well considering I buffed it by hand. I ordered new one to replace the one that the Bleeeeeeep sold....should have it later this week.

Not bad, I bet the buffer will slick it up nicely.
I have some video that I will post later, now its time for a shower, and something to eat.
