I immediatly then i used a stippled roller that i use for applying contact cement to plastic laminate . i load this up with more gelcoat and roll staying 3/4 of an inch away from the edge of everything, this keeps the edges lookin flat like a factory job . it looks perfect and no cleaning issues ( trapped dirt ) what so ever! This method is so easy and you have a gelcoated deck, Most of this i got help from member Nymack who by the way i have not seen on the board in a very very long time ??????

I have also been looking at the gel coat application. I'm thinking of give mine the work boat look. And like you said it very easy to do. Can you gel coat over existing gel coat as long as you scuff it up first?
