[quote=MN3]there are additives you can add to the gelcoat that will reduce orangepeel
i.e duratec
Interesting info on gelcoats via jake on the other forum - "When we gelcoat on an exterior surface, you have to sand through the outside layer and polish to remove the orange peel to achieve a smooth surface. Once you do that, you remove the durable solid layer and expose the more porous layer that won't hold a finish as long." - http://www.catsailor.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=260570&page=1
PS who cares about a little orange peeling, esp on the bows of your cat ... build that sucker up so next time the dock breaks, not your cat!
[quote]Spray the gel coat yourself. I've done an entire boat recently and it's not too bad, but there is a lot of sanding to get the orange peel out.[/quote]<!-- editby --><em>Edited by MN3 on Jul 25, 2013 - 12:54 PM.</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
