Not sure. Someone said duratec. All I saw was their brand.
Went ahead and ordered the gelcoat tho. The shipping was astronomical on the mekp and wax. I can get that in person elsewhere.
With Saturday being car shopping day with our son, and Sunday is replace ball joints and tie rod ends on the...
Looks like I was over complicating it a bit much. I appreciate you guys.
Any particular wax recommended for the final coat?
South GA weather now a days runs around 90⁰ average this time a year. I'll be hanging some tarps on a metal carport entry/exit to get this done, only got 2 walls.
Think...
Another thing I've read about and still on it.. Is, gel sticking to epoxy resin.
Is a lowly diy guy like myself able to order from those vendors?
If I could get the whaler blue gel, and change my materials up...
Could I go poly resin with my patches, then what primer? The same epoxy primer...

Looking forward to the pics when The interwebs decide to play along!

The biggest reason I don't want to use gel is because I can't find anybody that sells whaler blue gel. I could try to mix and make it.. But that sounds like a bigger task...
I was actually thinking both.. I got a lil bit of keel damage weekend before last at the river, a lot of shallow areas with hard stone bottom. Thought it would protect against that and intentionally beaching, better than fiberglass alone.
Maybe kevlar would be a better idea?
Prior to applying...
It will be interesting for me as well, I have zero experience with fiberglass but I'm a quick study.
If anyone has any suggestions or corrections to my plan, they're welcome
I recently acquired a 1969 whaler nauset and I'll be removing the gel coat to refinish the hull and deck.
I'll be using 2 coats of total boat epoxy resin on the original bare glass, followed by 2 coats of total boat barrier primer. hull and deck. Followed by 3 coats of wet edge, also hull and...
