4. In a separate container, measure only the amount of
gelcoat you will need. Mix a ratio of 2% ratio of catalyst
to the amount of gelcoat being used ( a spoonful of gelcoat
will require only a drop or two of catalyst). Do not
pour any unused portions of the gelcoat/catalyst mixture
back into either original container.
5. Apply gelcoat to area leaving a slight lift above the
surface.
6. Cover the area with wax paper. It will help the mixture
to set up faster.
7. Remove wax paper and shave off any extra gelcoat
with a razor blade.
8. After the area is shaved smooth, start with the 400,
600, and finally 1000 grit sand papers.
9. Buff the area with compound, polish and a finish wax.
You may notice a difference between the repaired area
and the original finish due to the natural weathering
process.
FLOORING
Effective maintenance includes promptly removing all
spills and then thoroughly cleaning with a diluted neu-
tral cleaner or cleaner/maintainer solution. Failure to
establish an effective routine maintenance grogram will
not only detract from the apperrance of the floor but
may shorten its useful life.
