Polyester Gelcoat, Repair Kits & Clear Coatings

Choose gelcoat by application

Use the exact product data to confirm substrate compatibility, application method, catalyst ratio, film build and cure requirements. Colour matching should be evaluated before a visible repair.

Waxed versus unwaxed gelcoat

Waxed gelcoat is generally selected for a final exposed surface because the wax supports surface cure. Unwaxed gelcoat is commonly used where another layer will follow. Always follow the specific product directions.

Repair and reinforcement

Small chips and cosmetic defects may suit paste or a repair kit. Larger composite work may also require compatible fiberglass and composite fabrics and a complete resin system.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between waxed and unwaxed gelcoat? Waxed products are generally intended to cure as a final surface; unwaxed products remain ready for an additional layer.

Is gelcoat the same as paint? No. Gelcoat is a resin-based surface layer used with compatible composite systems, while paint is a separate coating category.

What should I use for a small chip? A colour-matched paste or repair kit may be suitable after the damaged area is prepared according to the product instructions.
