Gel coat is easy don't try to cheat like I did here and over sanded the edges using a palm sander (edges must be done the hard way) I have to re-spray these spots trick is to tape up the sanded area.
As for cushions for the seat I may have something custom done it the fall ..
See the edges ? I remove 20 plus mils and expose the resin ..

Default Do what?

Man, that is a good deal on the resin and gelcoat. It would be worth the drive from Lakeland. Last resin I bought was $30/gal. Back in 2000 when I was hot and heavy into the rebuild I was paying $17.99/gal and I was buying 10 gallons at a time. I won't even tell you what the gelcoat was running. I could have built another boat with the money I would have saved. COL!
