Hi Guys,

I'm just starting with composites fabrication and i would just like to ask if molds and parts can be made without tooling gelcoat.

Since i'm just a beginner, I don't want to be wasting materials such as gelcoat when I practice...and do parts made without gelcoat have the same quality as ones made with gelcoat?

Thanks Smile

Since gelcoat copies the surface of items being copied, is it necessary for the items being copied to be perfect (ie. smooth, scratch free, etc.) or can I just do the necessary corrections once it dries up and removed from the item?

I asked this because don't have the necessary tools needed to polish/paint the car parts I want to copy.

Thanks for the responses guys!Smile
