    gel coat problems !

    Click image for larger version.  Name: bad porosity.jpg  Views: 47  Size: 400.6 KB  ID: 378661
    This is gel coat pororsity in all its glory!.All the holes and hollows were filled with fungi and growth and were really deep!

    In this case was a cover over a anchor winch on the fore deck of a 50 foot boat .Because the gel coat must have been sprayed thick and heavy and the catalyst could have been pretty high as well . Was amazed there was not signs of spider web cracks any where or signs of mud cracking .

    Messing round with boats is fun !! the learning never stops ,even after more than 30 years there's always something new happening somewhere ! BUT somethings never change and some problems never go away and just keep reoccurring !!so moved into Composite Forensics , Now that something completely new !!
