Gel Coat

About a month ago, I ordered a gallon of gel coat from US Composites along with the wax additive. Due to other priorities, I didn't get to apply it until just last week end. The wax additive had dried up in the little glass jar it was sent in or the liquid all leaked out, so I applied it without the wax. We'll see what happens from here. The one gallon covered about a fourth of the trimaran main hull. I have ordered another gallon. I am applying it with a brush and then I will sand it down with my 7" sander/grinder/polisher with a 60grit sanding disc.


Well, it has been a couple of weeks since I first applied the gel coat. Last night, after work, I sanded the gel coat I had applied. This morning, I started on applying the second gallon, covering the upper cabin. It's really beginning to look more like a boat.
