Gelcoat over epoxy?

[pelican]

another good tip,when applying gel over epoxy:

i like and use duratec surfacer - it's a two fold - it fills the pin holes and,it provides a seperation coat - spray the duratec,let it kick,sand,and spray on the gel - i use epoxy on just about every repair i do - this is the method i use...

I guess I will have to order some. I keep hearing about it here, and a primer/filler/surfacer can't hurt. Looks like mail order from Express Composites, unless there is someplace local north of Boston.

The vinylester duratec came in this week, haven't even opened the box. I hate sanding with a longboard. Especially when I screw up and put down too much fairing compound. Oh well, it will look nice.
