Hi again. I use GC50 gelcoat for all our products. We are new in using this product, I'm having hazy clear coats after a week or two of exposing it to sunlight. At brand new condition there are no problems. I sprayed the GC50 with gelcoat spraying gun. Single layer. I use vinyl ester resin for vacuum infusion. Any solutions?
I have attached photos of brand new and used for 2 weeks mustang louvers
Thank you!
