Gelcoated Fiberglass panels
Anyone have a source to buy panels in different thickness? Either gelcoated or possibly nonskid finished.

First need to know what they are to be used for and they definitely need to have a gel coated finish or you will have problems with fibers on the surface pattern as well as slinters , Colour is important if its for outside use ANY dark colour draws heat and if you have children will burn the souls off there feet .

Whoaa Relax.....
I have a center console that is mint but the coring is obviously soft under the deck around the console where you stand I need a piece of gelcoated glass to laminate over the existing floor to have a finished product when its done at least 4'x8' x at least 1/4" thick or opinions on thickness.
I did find a company in ga that can make panels smooth and non skid in any size

That's what we wanted to know ! Now you can get some help from everyone
On a personal note photos would be a big help also to see what you have and how big etc !
Plus if the floor is soft around the center console then it needs chopping out and replacing not covering up. The floor will have a core for sure and that's what's separated, typical !.
All and any walking surfaces need good glass each side of a 18mm or 20 mm thick core and id suggest Balsa wood not foam . Once foam comes loose it just keep falling apart and you get what you got !
If you deck has a tread pattern if you cut it carefully and neatly you might be able to re-core and re-glass it and fit in back in the hole it can out ofLast edited by tunnels; 07-31-2016 at 06:35 PM.
