This is where I'm at with the boat... three layers of mat, tabbed in to the old floor. I didn't truly understand the gelcoat / expoxy discussion, but I have always applied gelcoat directly to hardened glass after using polyester resin... Never had an issue.

I will be working on that Cab-o-sil + gelcoat floor in the next two weeks. I'll let you know how it goes!

There have been a few cases where they applied gelcoat over epoxy successfully but that is not the norm, nor do I know the process taken. Explore and let us know the results. The results can be erased with a grinder if they are not what you wanted

Gel coated back of hatch and Inside console base white. It will end up with at least 2 coats probably 3. Im just rolling it on because it is in a hidden area so fit and finish is not the goal, rather make it easier to see in dark places and protect the raw glass. Ground and sanded other side of hatch. Have a bubble to repair. You'll never guess where. Going over a corner. I'll post a picture of it later.




This actually a good picture of the shelf supports I put in earlier. Glassed down one side kind of by accident after I glued and clamped them with gorilla construction adhesive ultimate.

Getting closer. Finished up with a layer of matte. Need to grind and sand it. The lamination schedule was a layer of matte, layer of 1708 and another layer of matte. Put a sheet of plastic over the console, put the pieces of the hatch on there, clamped the hatch in place, then glassed everything in place ensuring a good fit.

Does anyone know where to by gaskets for a 1997 Osprey 200 fuel sender and fuel pickup??
