Zachary 2 Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Looking for advice. I have applied gel coat to a hatch cover which hasn’t cured. It had too much pigment applied when mixing and I stupidly continued. Went off in about 10 mins so thought all is good. After a week I can brush my hand across it but is still tacky... so not so good. Do I need to remove it? If so, how do I do this? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Island Time 1,235 Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 You can remove uncured gelcoat with acetone. Whats the hatch made of? Gelcoat wont cure if it's on epoxy with amine blush, the gelcoat must be cured, & washed with soap and water first. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zachary 2 Posted September 17, 2019 Author Share Posted September 17, 2019 Thanks. It was waxed GC brushed over old GC that I had sanded back. Looks like removal is needed - You live and learn! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
