Im not sure what went wrong here but could be a couple of things…
I post cured the mould as stated on spec sheet.
5 coats of easy lease, and 2 coats of wax. The easy lease is around 12 months old but had never been opened.
I resin infused the part, had a night mare trying to de mould it.
The gelcoat is now in a pretty bad state, is it repairable?
