| Post subject: | Gelcoat help |
I did some repair work in one of my daggers and I need/want to gelcoat the bottom 8-10 inches or so. How thick does gelcoat go on? Do I need to sand down the section that I'm doing so it will be even after I gelcoat? Should/Can I thin gelcoat? What is best to apply it with? |

Best is to sprsy over a perfect sanded shape. Lots of thin layers. This requires less sanding after spraying. You can pain it on though... then sand more. |

JS... I'm finishing up an article on spraying gelcoat for the Hobie HOTLINE magazine as we tap away at our keyboards. It should answer all of your questions and will show you various products to add to gelcoat and why they are added. I'd be happy to email you lots of photos and more, but would ask that you renew your HCA membership first. Besides it's a great way to get the HOTLINE magazine with even more info on Hobies. If you're up for this the website link to renew is http://www.hcana.hobieclass.com/ . Just click on the membership link and go from there...it's easy. You can send your private email address to me @ [email protected] . Rick |

I followed the link and and tried to join but it locked up my browser. I use Firefox. I'll try again with IE. Is there an annual fee? I didn't see it posted anywhere on the site. John |
