Hi All,

I was looking for some White gelcoat to fill in a couple of screwholes from my windshield. I found what i need and will buy it today.

however i stumbled over some "clear" gelcoat. Clear Gel Coat in stock for same day shipping | Fibre Glast

My question is if i prep my boat and get a good bite on it, can i lay this "clear" gel coat over the colors that i currently have and it is more or less going to clear coat the boat? It has a decent shine now, but you can tell its had some time in the sun and the colorsanding i did did not help too much.

Thanks
Steve

The problem with gel coat is it doesen't lay flat. It orange peels bad. Trust me. Ive re Geled 3 boats and its not a fun time when it comes to getting that peel out. I would give it a good cut and buff with some 3M or the New Boat candy line or compounds and polishes.
As for the holes i would use some cabosil mixed with white gel coat. sand and cut and buff.
