Well I have a small repair to do in the splashwell of my 1801,the gelcoat had a 3" crack(on both sides(port and starboard) of the side walls of the splashwell)and after removing the loose material I was basically down to the wood,the port crack was deep enough to allow the surface of the wood to get wet and have some soft wood,the transom is structurally sound and I believe these cracks were from basic flexing,trailering etc., that said, the plan is fiberglass mat with epoxy over the exposed wood then gelcoat over that.
My question is,after researching on here I understand the gelcoat is supposed to be covered with a plastic film in order to cure? when I contacted Parker they said I could roll on the new gelcoat/non-skid floor covering,they didnt mention anything about any plastic film?
thanks,
