Gelcoat over epoxy?

[FishStretcher]

Nice work!

I just got done with my Duratec vinylester primer experiment. It kicks quickly and sticks to anything. I stuck it to high microbaloon content epoxy (a no-no) and gel coated over top of it and it all seems good so far. And the vinylester primer is high build. .040" per application! I put it on with a roller and it left a texture in the most wicked way, as I couldn't let it just lie flat, plus I ran out of short nap rollers. It just about matches the stock(?) off white/light sand color in my 1974 Master Angler. I wish I had sprayed it, as I would have just left it. It matches the existing oxidized gelcoat pretty well.

for best results,duratec should be sprayed,not rolled or brushed...
