Don- Last night I tried for about 4 seconds to screw the grab bar in the upside down position but it seemed to not want to thread so I just ground a little off the lip. After reading your post just now I tried it again and I got it to thread. There was a ding on the threads that was making it difficult. Thanks for the tip.

Scott-thanks for the tip I'll do that.

EGreen- I've heard of alligators but this is my first experience with them. Thanks for identifying it. You are right the polyester primer was not too thin. I layed it on thick. However it's been hot here in calif these last few days and I was wondering if that could have had an effect. The part generated a lot of heat while in the mold. I think the cure time of the skin coat was fairly fast due to the increased outside temp. Maybe it was #3? due to a gel coat too thick? I've been using the white board for my flat molding table and never a problem.

Thanks for the input fellas
