First layer of gel coat

2/27/2016

i just put the first layer of gel coat on and it's looking pretty decent. I'm off to go to west marine to get a couple more cans. I'm thinking it'll need a couple more coats. Since I have no experience doing this, like everything else I'm doing, I'm opting for small cans that I can just mix in single batches with the hardener for each layer. It would save a little bit of money to buy a full gallon and mix as I go but I don't want to deal with the mess!

I had to pull the counter top template off this morning before I could sand and prep for gel coat. I had to cut it in half and realized I need it to be assembled in two pieces when it gets installed. I'll have to plan that out carefully when I get to that phase next week...

    Dream it. Design it. Build it. A hobbyist at heart, I'm usually asked, "Wouldn't it be cheaper and easier to just buy that?!?". Sure, but then I wouldn't understand it and appreciate it like only a do-it-your-selfer can!
