Gel coat repair
PROPORTIONS
Our products contain an accelerator. You simply need to add the
catalyst (colourless liquid). The usual proportion is 2%.
The gel setting time (working time) is about 30 minutes, complete
hardening takes about 10 hours.
APPLICATION
- To fill 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 nib in a layer thick enough to
enable further sanding.
- In order to even out minor touch-ups on smooth surfaces, stick
cellophane tape (or better, mylar tape) on the freshly applied gel coat.
- Remove sellotape after hardening.
- To obtain a high shine finish, sand with extra fine paper and water,
then polish.
STORAGE
Store gel coat components in a cool, dry and dark place.
The components can be kept for a maximum of 6 months.
Polyester products are flammable, so take the usual precautions.
CLEANING YOUR TOOLS
Clean your tools with acetone.
Steering gear
The steering system is accessed via the engine compartment.
- Check tension regularly.
- Do not overtighten the steering cables.
- Lubricate all elements with grease.
Treat nylon, ertalon or Teflon bushings with WD40 only.
Proper settings results in gentle steering resistance, without hard
points and without looseness.
WARNING

successful repairs:
- Dry weather.
- Temperature between 15° C and 25° C.
DANGER
The catalyst is a dangerous product:
- Keep it out of the reach of children.

membranes.

rinse thoroughly.
