Hi All,

I have a question about Gel coats.

I currently have a tooling for a sports performance canoe and I am sourcing any thoughts on stenciling designs in different colours prior to laying up.

Could a clear gelcoat be sprayed locally and a decal/ sticker laid over the clear before the complete hull colour being applied?

Cheers

Hello imig,
 I would recommend just adding decals when craftis finished,,  yes you could  spray a local clear and then put coloured gel over the top, but I think you would get a colour  variation where you sprayed the clear,  
Kind Regards

Thanks Fibreglass King,

I appreciate your response.

If I was to go down the, clear gelcoat locally route, would there be any seperation/ de-lam issues where the two gelcoats start & finish?

Cheers
