Mixing Instructions: The gelcoat you are buying is an Isophthalic, NPG gelcoat with wax additive 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%. Catalyst Guidline Catalyst Percentage
- 1/2% - (79-85 F)
Quart: 4-6 cc, Gallon: 23-26 cc, 5 Gallon: 110-130 cc - 1% - (72-78 F)
Quart: 8-12 cc, Gallon: 42-47 cc, 5 Gallon: 220-230 cc - 1 1/4% - (66-71 F)
Quart: 11-14 cc, Gallon: 55-60 cc, 5 Gallon: 275-285 cc - 1 1/2% - (61-65 F)
Quart: 13-16 cc, Gallon: 65-70 cc, 5 Gallon: 335-345 cc - 2% - (55-60 F)
Quart: 17-21 cc, Gallon: 86-94 cc, 5 Gallon: 450-460 cc
Tips
1 mL = 1 cc
If using wood mixing stick, place stick in resin before adding catalyst so wood doesn't absorb catalyst

Q: Can i get a color swag sample to see if I can match up on my boats before I buy? Asked on 12/7/2016 by Sharky Brakauskas Know the answer? Answer this question 2 answers A: The colors are close to the standard Awlgrip colors. You could call to have a color card mailed to you. Answered on 12/7/2016 by Rick White from undisclosed A: The colored gelcoats match the Awlgrip color pallet. Still, I'd order the necessary tints to go along with your order to get the best match. Oyster white was the closest match for my Dolphin 24, but I got yellow, brown and white tints to fine tune the match for my application. Answered on 12/8/2016 by MIKE ZINT from undisclosed
Q: Can you lay up multiple coats without sanding between apps. or do you have to let cure,sand clean before next application. 1st time gel coating? Asked on 8/4/2016 by Ray Bryant Know the answer? Answer this question 2 answers A: Thanks Rosalind much appreciated this helps a lot and answers my question. Have a Great Day. Ray Answered on 8/5/2016 by Ray Bryant from undisclosed A: If the gel coat is set then you must wait for it to cure, sand and clean before next application. It usually sets fairly quickly so it's not like you have to wait a long time. Answered on 8/4/2016 by ROSALIND FRANKS from undisclosed
Q: I am currently refurbishing a forest green canoe , my question would be is what do I need to do to paint a different color or even two tone ? Asked on 7/31/2016 by Josh Miller Know the answer? Answer this question 3 answers A: Ask the tec at Jamestown Answered on 7/31/2016 by S D from undisclosed A: Josh, Gelcoat may not be the best product for your project. I'd suggest looking at 1 part or 2 part epoxy paints. Mask between colors with a good quality tape for the two tone paint scheme you desire. Answered on 7/31/2016 by MIKE ZINT from undisclosed A: This is gelcoat which is used to fill and repair scratches in existing color. If you are repainting then I don't know if this is the best way to go. I'm just a boat owner and have never repainted a boat so I don't know the right answer.

Q: do you have a color chart? Asked on 3/16/2016 by tim gallaugher Know the answer? Answer this question 2 answers A: thanks Mike I will ask Jamestown for a color chart to tim Answered on 3/17/2016 by tim gallaugher from undisclosed A: The colored gel coats at Jamestown match the Awlgrip color chart. I got one from Jamestown several years ago. Still, I'd plan on getting tints ( the small tubes of colorant: yellow, brown, white, red or blue) adjacent to the color you're trying to match for fine tuning. Adjust the tint on a small amount of uncatalized gelcoat, put a dab near the area you're trying to match and wipe it off and readjust if you're not happy with the color. Keep track of how many drops of tint you add so you can replicate in in a larger batch if necessary. Answered on 3/16/2016 by MIKE ZINT from undisclosed
Q: My 1986 Catalina 22 was scratched numerous times near the starboard stern. There was a nail extending through the rubrail of a dock where I had it tied. None of the scratches went all the way through to the base fiberglass. but I have a scratched up area about a foot long and a foot high. Will this gelcoat fill those scratches or do I need to apply some kind of filler first and sand the hull smooth before applying? Asked on 10/6/2015 by HERBERT HAMILTON Know the answer? Answer this question 2 answers A: If they're deep grooves it'll fill them like putty if you apply it correctly (which is not easy) but will hardly be noticeable if you get the color match correct. If they're shallow try sanding them out and buffing (step 4 only). 1. sand the scratches (inside the grooves only) with 320 grit so the GC will adhere. 2. mix/apply GC like putty filling all sanded grooves. 3. allow GC to cure 4. block wet-sand smooth and polish taking care not to sand through the existing GC (320 grit --> 500 grit --> 1000 grit --> 1500 grit --> compound / buff) Answered on 10/6/2015 by BLAKE BREINER from undisclosed A: If the scratches aren't too deep, you can sand the entire area to blend fair, clean and dewax, then use a preval sprayer to touch up the entire area. You may need several coats to cover and with air dry gel coat, you'll need to lightly sand between coats. You'll want to order styrene as a thinner for spraying, acetone as a cleaner and white, yellow and brown gel coat coloring agents to fine tune the color match to your boat. ( due to fading, older boats are no longer an exact match to the original factory colors. Adjust the colors to un-catalyzed gel coat, put a dab on your boat and check for color match. If not right, wipe off with acetone, adjust the color and try again. 1 or 2 drops of coloring agents make a big difference. Good luck! Answered on 10/5/2015 by MIKE ZINT from undisclosed
Q: What coverage will I get per gallon of this gelcoat? I have 300 square feet to cover. Asked on 4/30/2015 by Terry Ishmael Know the answer? Answer this question 1 answer A: I only had a small repair to do about 4 square inches so it is hard to answer your question. This stuff is extremely thin, like water and it cures really fast. I had to use a lot of coats to build up any thickness. The color was a perfect match though. Answered on 6/29/2015 by DAVID LEWIS from undisclosed
Q: what color white would come closest to matching Hobie 16 white? Asked on 4/17/2015 by Don Mc Know the answer? Answer this question 5 answers A: To match the color on my Pacific Dolphin 24, I had the CSR at Jamestown send me the Awlgrip color chart. The colors on the chart match the color of the colored gelcoats. I still had to buy the gelcoat tints ( white, yellow and brown) to get an exact match, but its not a hard process to do. Just add a drop at a time to a small container of uncatalized gel coat and apply a drop to the surface you're trying to match until you get it right. Answered on 4/19/2015 by MIKE ZINT from undisclosed A: Do not know. Answered on 4/18/2015 by CHARLES EGLESTON from undisclosed A: thanks, Mike Z...will do.. Answered on 4/19/2015 by Don Mc from undisclosed A: Not sure but I will recommend sale staff they got the color rite on my trophy Answered on 4/17/2015 by S D from undisclosed A: I'd love to be able to help, but I bought black to repair a small ding on a jet ski. The product worked great though! Good luck. KBR Answered on 4/17/2015 by Bruce R from undisclosed
Q: Can this product be use on wooden swings or benches....they stay out all the time in extreme weather...every couple of years they have to be refinished....is there any health hazard. Is there a clear coating so wood grains would show through? Asked on 10/8/2014 by Raymond Reiss Know the answer? Answer this question 5 answers A: Raymond, Gelcoat is colored/pigmented resin. If you want the wood grain to show through, then finish with a regular fiberglass resin or epoxy of your choice ( similar to finishing a cedar strip canoe. Why pay extra for gelcoat? I can't think of any health hazards you might encounter beyond those normally encountered during the application process. Answered on 10/12/2014 by MIKE ZINT from undisclosed A: Do not know. Was not able to use product. Answered on 10/9/2014 by CHARLES EGLESTON from undisclosed A: No, it's too thin and probably would not adhere to anything but polyester resin Answered on 10/9/2014 by MICHAEL CRAIG from undisclosed A: Just the gel coat would not be enough. The wood swells and moves too much with temp and humidity changes. Would have to go the full route, cover with fiberglass and fiberglass matt, then apply a gel coat to the fiberglass. You would be better off painting the wood with a good quality marine paint. Answered on 10/9/2014 by BOB MITCHELL from undisclosed A: This product is for use over fiberglass substrates. Would not work well, if at all, on wood. Jamestown Distributors does sell a number of products for use on wood...if you want the wood grain to show through you might try Epiphanes Gloss Wood Finish. I've had excellent success with it on the exterior trim on my boat. If you want an opaque or colored finish you might try one of Jamestown's topside enamels. Nothing lasts forever, though, and refinishing outside furniture every couple of years, especially in a severe exposure situation, doesn't seem unreasonable.

Q: Would 'smoke white' match a 1982 C&C gelcote? I understand that there would be porosity and fading differences. Asked on 9/29/2014 by Bryan Bowser Know the answer? Answer this question 1 answer A: I would be more than happy to help normally but to there question I have no idea I dono the color of the boat in question !!! But use the color chart an it's much easier to darken than try an lighten the color so if they are stuck between 2 colors u would choose the lighter one an darken it little to get it close !!!
