    Porosity ! this is gel coat on a mould !! in this case its excessively thick and the craters are caused by the gas escaping are really quite big and quite deep not high catalyst, just very thick gel coat .
    But when the boarding platform came out of the mould showed no signs or had any blemish's any where, with age this product could
    end up with mud cracking !! this was made in 2011

    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 !!
