Hi, my gelcoat is almost over and Easycomposites is not shipping until jan.
Is it possible to make a do-it-yourself gelcoat?
How?

Thanks

It is possible, but you need the right blend of additives. You can make do with just cab-o-sil (fumed silica), but it doesn't really make a gelcoat.

Do you have a list of such additives?
Epoxy tooling gelcoat, besides the fact the I am out of stock at the moment, is really expensive and sometimes I need something for a one off mould that will be discarded after the first use.
