Please note that the PICTURE UPLOAD function is not working. The iBoats Forum Moderators are working with the system administration folks at the parent company to get the issue resolved. This happened about a year ago and here we are again. In the meantime you can post photos as links to a picture hosting site of your choice. We are sorry about the inconvenience and will advise when the issue is resolved. Thank you for your patience.
Gelcoat is pigmented resin. Only the thin, white outer covering is gelcoat. (only 1/16" to 1/8" thick) The rest is layup material such as mat, roving, and a clear or amber colored layup resin.
Marine Tex epoxy will work. Comes in an off white. If you want to match the color, I think there are colorants that can be added. You have to mix and match.
