Fill in the repair with GC50 with some  Solution MW Wax Gelcoat Additive and it will cure with a non-tacky finish. Once fully cured, the wax will wash off with a solvent.

You can then flat back and polish up the repair.

Alternative to Solution MW is to stretch release film over the repair to seal it from the air.

Hi 

Thanks for you help.

Should i use both  Solution MW and the hardner that follows with the GC50 Epoxy Compatible Polyester Gelcoat ?

I am from Denmark, and I Can see that it is not possible to send Solution MW becurse it is dangerous, what can I do? I need it very much, because I need my robot with the exhibition first Febuar in Berlin so I'm a little desperate :-)
