Gelcoat was the thing to do about 12 years ago when fiberglassing was pretty new. Now, you would sand down the fleece with 40 grit to get it decently smooth, then apply some filler to fill in the low spots, sand with 100 grit, primer, then 220 grit, then primer again and send off to body shop [img]smile.gif[/img]

rage gold is great bondo, mix fibregalss mat resin with your rage gold use your catalyst that you use(mekp) and mix it all together, resin catalyst and rage gold, if you want it thicker use more rage gold, it will give you a much smoother surface to try work with and still very hard
