Tips for Spraying Gelcoat from Hold Fast Marine

Will from Hold Fast Marine has been working hard on creating helpful content for DIY boaters. We found his recent Gelcoat video to be very helpful, as we are very familiar with the questions and mysteries that come with using and applying Gelcoat. This video goes over application tips and techniques for using a standard spray gun. From which Gelcoat to use, (with or without Wax) to the nozzle settings and cleanup, Will does a thorough job demystifying common questions that we often hear on our Tech Help call line and see in our online support articles.

Often even selecting the right Gelcoat – either with or without wax – can stump people, and it matters that you use the proper one for your project. Catalyzing can be complicated and is one of the most important steps. And having your project, all the parts and pieces and supplies needed and laid out ready to go is vital for success because once you mix in your MEKP it’s go time and that clock stops for no one! Follow along with Will’s helpful videos and fun commentary as you pick up more tips for nailing these more challenging boat repairs. And of course, we’re here for you too with our Tech Help LIne.
