I just repaired my transom and glassed in the top. I am going to spray gel coat over the repair area. My question is do I need to apply primer before the gel coat and if so what is a good primer for this application.
I am in the process of redoing my transom. I have opted to do a pourable transom. I am planning on going with Arjay. I looked at Seacast and I think it is a good product also. My reasoning for my choice is it looks like the Arjay or Nida bond is more pourable and I will get a more even pour that...
