Hi,
I have got a Gelcoat Gun and find it a bit like using a fire hose.
I am sure it is great for covering a large area but most of my moulds are only about 50mm wide but long.
I only use GC50 at the moment.
Has anyone tried smaller nozzles? If so what size?

Brian.

I've found the supplied Fn6 nozzle okay with GC 50 but experimenting a bit with the pressure and flow adjuster on the gun might be worthwhile.

 I'm certainly going to try a smaller nozzle for products like the pattern coat primer, as when you've thinned it with acetone, as recommended, it is very thin and it's hard to always get an even coverage. The firehose analogy is certainly spot-on where that's concerned
