My first mould with tooling gelcoat was perfect!
Al my other atempts have had pinholes. I know they can be fixed by applying gelcoat in the holes. But it takes time, and I usually dont get the same goss after sanding down the applyed gel coat.
Is the unimould system better? will this leave me less pinholes?
Can I apply the gel coat with the ES G100 cup gun instead? Will this leave less pinholes?
