Tape & Gel

1) Mix the catalyst into the gel coat.

2) Quickly paint a coat of gel in the Masked Area. Neatness does not matter.

3) Put the fiberglass tape over the gel.

4) Paint gel on top of tape, wetting the tape fully.

5) Use the squeegee to spread and smooth out the gel.

6) Feather the edges.

7) Gel should be neat, but don't worry as it will get another layer.

8) Finish before the gel starts to go off.

9) Add a drop or two of gel to the masking tape so you can test it later for hardness.

Clean & Remove Tape

1) Clean drips off the boat using acetone.

2) Clean the brush with acetone.

3) As the gel goes off, but before it gets hard, remove the inner piece of masking tape. If the gel gets hard, it will be difficult to remove this inner piece of masking tape.

4) Let it dry for a minimum of an hour.
