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.

That would have been impossible to do by brush and a nightmare to do with a HVLP gun. The G100 got it done quick and easy.
