[quote=jgregs]So I've been reading a lot and watching videos. Here is what I'm thinking through
1) The hull lids. They have a texture build into them. Do I just need to hit this with a stiff brush while prepping the surface?
2) In the hull lids, despite being glued down, there is a slight gap in places where the adhesive didn't squeeze out and/or the fit wasn't perfect. Someone elsewhere said a marine grade silicone could be used to fill these tiny gaps. In my head it makes sense that you would address this prior to finishing but then silicone doesn't seem like the right solution. Fairing compound maybe?
3) I've read that gelcoat or paint can be used to add waterproofing. Do I need one or the other or both? I'm covering fiberglass+epoxy in some areas and Bondo Glass in others for small gap filling. I have a compressor and can buy a Wagner sprayer from Home Depot for ~$100, from the videos I've watched so far, looks like similar application
4) If I'm going to be doing large areas, it makes sense to me to do the whole thing that way I know it is done right. Agree or disagree?[/quote]
