Hi all,



i finished my first part today using GC50 gel coat. Poblem is that the part got hazy and on an yellowish side.
What could be the problem? I sprayed the mould with gel coat spraying gun, let it cure for about 4 hours (25º over here) and then epoxy infused. Into the oven, cured at 50º for 8h.
The primarly objective was to fill the pinholes that i allways get no matter how perfect is the insfusion, and that resulted very well! But when i look at the part compared with other with no gel coat is very noticable the difference. The yellow tone i can understand as beeing a polyester gel coat. But the haze is a big problem.
Any ideas for the cause of this?

Thank you!

Never tried that as like you said it´s not supposed to work like that. But can give it a shot.
At this point i can only see beeing some oil/moisture passing through the filters and going to the gun. I will do a test using a brush to actually rule out if this is the problem. If it´s not I´m out of ideas.
What kind of setup do you use with your compressor?

As for the problem beeing connected with the pinholes i really doubt. I tested million of different methods and none could make a flawless infusion. But at this point i would be happy with the gel coat working properly as it fixed the pinhole problems and the parts came out perfect (except for the milky thing)
