| Just need to remove the Bumpers now and finish the Fibreglassing underneath and tidy up what I just removed, then get some driving time under the belt while saving for the Paint. |

and after some reading, realised why it cracked at those points when I removed it from the mold.....the Gelcoat is not THICK ENOUGH !
I was just to impatient to see if it had actually worked, that and the fact that I 'Brushed' on the Gelcoat instead of 'Spraying' it on.....That's why it looks a bit blotchy.
As you can see from this Pic, though it wont matter when the Paint goes on, the next will be done with less speed and will have a few more coats..... |

I think i made the same mistake with my first fender copy, not enough gel and too eager to get it out the mould. Next time i will be applying a 2nd gel just as the first gets tacky. I didn't think brushing or spraying would make much difference, i brush on and when its worked its pukka. I woulda thought that if you spray on you'll need a few more coats cause it'll be thiner so that it can run through the spray gear.
How much PVA u using and is it neat or slightly watered down?
Looking bloody good though. |

Thanx guys, Kei, With Brushing it, if it doesn't settle/level, you get Brush strokes and thin spots as opposed to spraying a nice even coat/thickness. That said, I must have applied it thicker when I did the Mold cos It's nice and smooth.
As for the PVA, Straight out of the bottle and applied with a T-Shirt...coz i didn't have a sponge....again, something to be sprayed as most 'Glassers I've seen on YOUTUBE do.
a 2mm nozzle on my spray gun should be okay (Same as for the High Fill) when Spray Painting. I'll find out when I do the next one. |
