Gel coat repair at home 👌

This is a quick video on how to repair gel coat damage. You can obviously go a lot further to get a perfect colour match and finish but hoping this video helps people to repair unsightly chips or scrapes.
All the best 👌

Excellent easy to follow and methodical video, good tip about the acetone and paper towl as well. Looks mint at the end there, cheers for posting.

Thanks for the video! If you have gelcoat without wax, you can mist it with PVA (polyvynil alcohol) to get it to cure.

Hey mate cheers for sharing your knowledge! 👍🏾. Question I’m a beginner when it comes to repair work so I’m following your video step by step haha quick question I have some chips that are abit deeper with this whole process once cured will it become fully waterproof.? Or should I add another layer of flo over the top?

Cheers again mate 👍🏾

I find mixing gelcoat with silica first then hardener will be more managable

great video mate been awhile good to be back.

Approximately how long does it take to cure to start sanding. I know it’s weather dependent but is there a way to speed the process up if need be?

[alixbarks]

Very good results. But, working overhead with hot polyester gelcoat and no eye protection? Aussies are tough, but yikes!

[jhenymorgopez]

whats the name of a engredients or chemical powder you put?

[jasonsmith]

I might have missed it in the video but, can that surface be painted now? I have some repairs like this to do on the gelcoat of an old golf cart.

Hey mate i was just wondering if i can use talcum powder as a thickener in the exact same scenario to repair on my keel? Cheers

[billboland]

Would you do same for spider cracks, have cracks in my caravan

[djg]

[sonmydful]
