As I will be needing to patch and make some new fiberglass areas in the bathroom and on the roof of my Amerigo restoration, I've been looking at Gel Coat finishes to apply once the main fiberglass work is built.
The first product I came across Evercoat Gel-Kote Premium White, fortunately, a little reading has already educated me on the fact that one needs to cover this stuff with wax paper once its applied or it won't setup right.
I'm interested in if anyone here is familiar with some other gel coat products that I can use for when I start work on the new bathroom stall, which is being made from a combination of fiberglass reinforced panels and hand done glass work on the shower pan to make it all a solid piece.
I'm aiming for a polar white color, and most of the gel coats just say "White" which isn't super helpful in terms of what shade it is.
The Evercoat I found would probably work okay for where the roof is being done as its all horizontal, but I'm still learning about gel coat.
Thanks in advance :) on any advice.
there are two types of gelcoats, one was formulated to be used in molds, and the glass structure laid up over it.
The second is to be used in over coating (like your job) It contains a WAX that will act as a sealer required to Harden the gelcoat.
Your local boat supply company should have both.
