Hello all,
I hope someone could help me with my "little" problem(sorry for the errors, english is not my mother language).
I just finished my mould that I made following the videos on the easy composit home page using the uni mould kit products. And I don't think I missed a step or did something wrong, but on one spot I got something strange. Something went wrong and I don't know what or why. It's like there's been some chimical reaction that gave this white layer so that the gel coat couldn't attach as it should.
I join some pictures to show you.
What should I do? Can I polish this spot then apply a thin layer of gel coat and repolish or is this a bad idea? I just hope I don't have to start all over.
Thanks in advance
