Looking Like a Mold & NOT a Kit - Spraying Gelcoat (MJ Sailing - Ep 302)

Our hull has come to us in dozens of pieces, but it's time to make it look like a factory mold. Focusing our attention on the transom area of the boat, we go through all the steps to blend the seams together, after we had initially bonded them with methacrylate and glassed from the inside. To continue work on the exterior, first the gelcoat would need to be removed from a few inches on each side. Any gaps in the seam were then filled with a thickened resin that had extra chop strand fiberglass in it. A piece of 12 oz double biased fiberglass was laid out, and after curing overnight, was sanded. The surface was then covered with our white polyester fairing compound, and worked so that all of the surfaces were flush. Then, it was time to apply gelcoat!! It's recommended that five coats of 5mm thickness go on, and each new coat goes on after a flash of the first. We did have to deal with some unexpected rain and humidity, but we think overall the project was a success!! We hope you enjoy. Link to our boat: https://maxcruisemarine.com/max42sc-s...
