I have a tin of both Gelcoat and Flowcoat, purchased with the intention of completing a fibreglass repair (removed instrument panel, filled in with car filler).
I thought it was a case that Gelcoat was the base layer and that Flowcoat would be the top layer.
I have queried this with the supplier who has said that Flowcoat is used when you want a tack-free finish, and that Gelcoat remains tacky when it’s cured.
So I think for my project I juest need to brush on 1 or 2 coats of Flowcoat and then polish back to a smooth finish.
But I'm curious, for what applications would Gelcoat be used? I can't think of a scenario where anyone would want tacky Gelcoat?
