White Gelcoat with Wax - Pint with 15cc Hardener (MEKP)

Quality product.

I used this white gel coat with wax to repair deep scratches from dock damage on my 23' sailboat . Per the instructions, the gel coat container was shaken well to ensure wax completely mixed with the epoxy. The gel coat epoxy and hardener were then measured and mixed together per the instructions. I sanded and cleaned the damaged area previously and applied the gel coat using a 1/2 inch water color brush. The bright white finish is smooth, hard, and matches the original hull color very well.

This was my first experience painting with gel coat. It went on very well over fiberglass as well as pre-existing gel coat that had been sanded with 80 grit sand paper. It wasnt runny at all and went on thick which was nice on the vertical surfaces I painted. I did not realize how fast the gel coat would thicken however so I wasted a lot of it. 1 pint goes a long way if I mixed it correctly. I'll update this review once I sand it down to be smooth.

It's tricky ordering gelcoat online, and while this gelcoat did all it was supposed to, you have to make sure you understand the size you are ordering. I've read that some have been fooled by the image and ended up with too little for the job. I didn't make that mistake, but the company here isn't very helpful in other areas. The package only included a small instruction, and failed to mention that the gelcoat would eat a Solo cup. I kinda made a mess. Also, make sure you understand that you can't tint the white very well. I got purple. Oops.

Old boat, look like new hatch cover
