Have you (or anyone else here) tried peel ply ("release fabric" by generic name) with gelcoat? Assuming the surface is flat enough that is. I don't know if it has to be used over glass or could be used over a small gelcoat patch. cheers, John On 11/4/24 19:43, casioqv@usermail.com wrote:
I've done DIY gelcoat a few times. I've used the evercoat brand, and after mixing w/ hardener it mostly applies like paint. They sell a small kit with colors to color match. For small scratches, I fill the scratch, and then put masking tape over it for it to harden underneath, which makes it harden fairly smooth, and then just buffing or light sanding will usually make it flush.
