West System

[shicks007]

Hammer, The repair work on your hull goes like this... gelcoat or paint.


Although some people say you can gelcoat over West System, the official ord is, you cant. I'm sure you can't over primer either. Gelcoat is a polyester based product and needs to stick with polyester substrates like your fiberglass hull, or repairs with polyeter resin.

West System as you know is an epoxy. Prime it and paint it. If you are going to leave it in the water at all, you might need to barrier coat those touched up spots to keep from blistering, I'm not sure about that, maybe someone else can chime in on that question.

I'm telling you guys, I really recomend the Devoe paints, very resonable.
