Gelcoat
A. This is the outer surface of the container. Damage to the gelcoat does not affect the GRP,
although it may expose it to view. Where only the gelcoat is damaged, repair with a GRP
filler, such as Isopon, and proceed as follows:
(1) Clean the damaged area with acetone to remove all contamination.
(2) Trowel the plastic filler in until it is at a level above the adjacent surface of the
container.
(3) Cover with cellotape or similar adhesive tape and allow to harden.
(4) Remove the tape and abrade the repaired area to blend with the container surface.
B. To apply paint to the container, proceed as follows:
(1) Fill any cracks or voids in the gelcoat with plastic filler.
(2) Remove any loose labels.
(3) Wash the container with a solution of detergent and water and rinse with clean
water.
(4) Remove grease, tar, etc. with a suitable solvent.
(5) Spray paint one coat of white Epimide paint or an approved alternative, i.e.
polyurethane paint.
Note: A container requires approximately .5 liters of paint.
Major Repairs
A major repair is required for any damage to a container that is more serious than damage to the
gelcoat only. Major repairs to the glass fiber containers are not permitted except by specially
trained and approved personnel. The limits of repair are given below. When container damage
reaches these limits no attempt at repair is to be made, and the damaged shell or shells of the
container must be replaced.
