Hi all,
I have been working on some large patches (6"x 12") on both sides of the
stern of my M-17 that I am trying to have ready for sailing over
Thanksgiving. I had some blisters that had cracked that were there from
shrink wrap holding water in. I ground down the gel coat, and sealed
with west system epoxy. I tried one application of Evercoat gelcoat
paste tinted white but it came out blue. The jar of paste is old and I
guess it turned. No matter how much tint I put in, blue blue blue.
Ground off the blue and tried a fresh batch of Evercoat. The color is
okay but the finish is very uneven, even after sanding. Most trouble
some, the new coat is not hiding the black hull underneath. I looked
online for advice and found some gel coat mix and small sprayers. I am
about to try this route and hope 5-6 coats covers.
Any advice?
Thanks
Robbin
M-17 hull #601, Miss Take
