My third infusion - and finally this one pulled straight from the mold and only needed a quick polish and trim to look like this!

Spraying  GC50 into the mould with the G100 gel spray gun has transformed my pieces (I was pinhole free on infusion 2 but was having carbon exposed at the surface)

There has been a lot of discussion about problems brushing GC50 - I have to advise just getting the correct kit and spraying it...

And then use the acetone trick to tack the first layer on the fully cured GC50?
(wtf is up with quoting a post, sorry for the mess)

It takes a bit of practice to get the timing rightWink in my workshop it's about three hours. I test an area around the flange, if you can feel the tack on your glove without the gelcoat actually sticking to it then you are good to goSmile If you get any large blobs/drips ( easily done ) in the gelcoat then just let it completely cure (overnight) then just flat them back with 1200's (dry)
