**This is part 2 of my Gelcoat-Refit-Series**
Part 1: • Gelcoat REPARIEREN! 😱 ...
In the last video I opened up all the hairline cracks with a dremel and then I filled them with polyester resin. And then it was time for some glorious sanding. And some more sanding. And some more. And now it's finally time to apply a new coat of gelcoat to my 50 year old boat and its stern. But also, I'll be going into the theory a little bit: I'll explain why I work with gelcoat and polyester and not with epoxy and paint. I want to share with you what I learned during my extensive research, in the hope that you won't be spending hours and hours in forums, videos etc. but that you'll have some useful information all in one place.
After the application of the gelcoat, there's still a ton of work to do, but more about that in part 3.
