White and neutral gelcoats that dry to a hard sandable finish. No wax paper or special tools needed. MEKP hardener included. These gelcoats do contain wax. Neutral is better with coloring agents. White is more opaque with coloring agents, and is also available with no wax.
MEKP is included as the activator/hardening agent. To thin, use styrene thinner. Acetone is also commonly used but not recommended by manufacturers due to yellowing, orange peel and other detrimental side effects.

Mixing Instructions: The gelcoat you are buying is an Isophthalic, NPG gelcoat with wax additive (unless it specifically says no wax) for an air dry post applied application. Mixing instruction depends on the temperature and preferable dry times. The higher percentage of catalyst the faster it will dry. Air and surface temperature will also affect the drying of the gelcoat. The colder the air temperature, the higher the percentage of catalyst you should use. Do not go below 1/2% or above 2%.
If using wood mixing stick, place stick in resin before adding catalyst so wood doesn't absorb catalyst

2012-07-30DAVID COOPER: Well it is a boat finish but you would need to clear coat over the top and I dont see that holding up to soaps and cleaners very well. I would recommend a two part epoxy paint. You could probably spray on a coat, wet sand it and do a second coat. Just follow the instructions for the epoxy mixing and application.
Need lots of ventilation while spraying.
Good luck
2012-07-30JAMES MCCABE: I dont see why not as long as it is fiberglass. I would not know how you would apply it though. I used mine in bilge of a boat so brush marks were not a problem
2012-06-14GILL BARLOW asked: can you apply multiple layers of this product as long as you do not let it harden between coats? i do not want to sand between coats

I have always waited for the gel coat to dry, sanded it then applied more if necessary. But I have only used it for patching small areas where this was not a problem.

2012-05-07A shopper asked: I am new to this and cant find a decent answer. I want to apply several coats and want to know if i can do it with this product. Can I apply coats before it dries? If it does dry how to remove wax to apply another coat. Thanks in advance.
+Expand Answers
2012-05-07JOHN VAN BUREN: Hi!
Unfortunately for you I have not yet needed to apply additional coats of this product. However, I am aware that for epoxy that creates a wax when setting up, that soapy water cleans it up. Thus, I would suggest that you give that a try on an experinental piece. One thing I have learned the hard way is trying new products on scrap or "experimental pieces does save time and effort in the long run.

2011-11-23A shopper asked: Which is better to use for gelcoat repair? Gelcoat or Interlux watertite epoxy filler? I am going to paint a small sailboat that has a lot of gelcoat damage. Thanks
+Expand Answers
2011-11-23JOHN VAN BUREN: I recently resurfased a canoe for a friend. After smoothing the surface I used Interlux two part primer and a top coat of their paint. In my humble opionion this would be a better approach than Gel Coat. Most epoxies are not UV protected so using just epoxy might lead to problems.

2011-11-18RICHARD MOOERS: My experience has been in color matching an existing composite surface, not in replacing a wood surface w/ a composite surface. Your challenge is in mixing up uniform batches of colored resin, not in matching an existing color. It seems reasonable that if you use the same measurements for resin, hardner and colorant, at least the many batches should be the same color when cured. Good luck, as your task would be daunting to me. You are going to have one slippery surface!

The gelcoat you indicated is an external gelcoat with internal surfacing wax to allow curing in open air.

Just what I needed for repairs on the top of my 70 foot houstboat. Can be rolled on for a non slip surface. Use with fiberglass to repair cracks and damage areas. White color blends with original white surface.

Comments about Jamestown Distributors White and Neutral Gelcoats:
I have used this product to repair the deck of a red fiberglass kayak and it worked well. Using color agents from Jamestown I was able to get a very good color match. But to quart size is too large. A 1/2 pint size would be handy and there are no directions for mixing small amounts. I would love to have didrections for mixing an ounce of gel coat with drops of the MEK. I ended up using 16 drops per ounce and it seemed to be OK.

Comments about Jamestown Distributors White and Neutral Gelcoats:
I'm refinishing an old board boat so old gelcoat was shot. Use the stuff with wax if not shooting into a mold. White on white is tricky so be sure not to apply too thick and make sure you thin it enough.

This works as advertised. Used 4-5% MEK to thin it to shoot thru a cup gun. Waiting 2-3 minutes for the solvents to flash between coats. Quite a bit of orange peel. Solved with alot of wet sanding and rubbing compound.

If you want to thin the product out effectively,so that it will cure and not be tacky to the touch, then use a product called "Patch Booster". Read the directions and don't use to much.

Comments about Jamestown Distributors White and Neutral Gelcoats:
comes with no directions and no instructions, does don't tell you what you can delute it with or how to be applied such as air gun, or roller. No mixing instructions execpt don't use more that 2 or 4 teaspoons per quart. Did not work or dry well in large areas, but did work well when applied with a brush in small spot repairs. Wish it had alot more directions and what you could mix with it to thin it out for a sprayer.

Comments about Jamestown Distributors White and Neutral Gelcoats:
Much better than West Marine Gelcoat which I had sections which did not harden. I had to wipe off with Acetone and then reapply. This happen more than once. 1 Your product was less expensive 2 It hardened every time 3 I spayed i small section and would like to get a smoother finish by having a greater dilution. How much would you recommend???
