INSTRUCTIONS TO REPAIR THE GEL COAT
MIXING RATIO
Our products contain an accelerator, you just have to add the catalyst (a colourless liquid). The usual
ratio is 2 %.
The gel setting time (working time) is about 1/2 h, curing takes about 10 h.
APPLICATION
- To fill up a blister hole or a scratch, sand and clean the area with acetone.
- Prepare the necessary amount of gel coat, preferably on a glass plate.
- Apply the product with a spatula or a point and the layer shall be thick enough to make possible a
further sanding.
- In order to blend minor touching up on smooth surfaces, stick sellotape (or even better, a mylar
tape) on the freshly applied gel coat.
- Remove sellotape after curing.
- To get a highly shiny finish, sand with extra fine abrasive and water then polish.

To keep them properly, store the gel coat components in a cool dry and dark place.
Keep the components 6 months maximum.
Polyester products are flammable ; take the usual precautions.
