Gelcoat is an outer layer of resin that is applied to the surface of a fiberglass boat. It provides a smooth, glossy surface finish, and serves to protect the boat from the elements, including water, sun and mechanical damage.
Laminating is the process of applying several layers of fiberglass and resin to create the structure of a boat's hull. These layers, or "strata", are alternated and cured to provide a strong, durable and waterproof hull.
Gelcoat maintenance is crucial to protect your boat's hull from wear, corrosion and damage caused by the elements. A well-maintained gelcoat will also help maintain your boat's appearance and value.
Damaged gelcoat can be repaired using a gelcoat repair kit, which usually includes resin, hardener and color pigments. The damaged area should be cleaned, lightly sanded and then covered with the gelcoat mixture. Once cured, the gelcoat can be polished back to its original appearance.
Yes, with the right tools, the right materials and a good knowledge of techniques, it is possible to carry out boat lamination yourself. However, it's a complex and delicate process, and we strongly recommend that you call in a professional for optimum results.
Signs of damaged boat lamination may include cracks or blisters on the hull surface, discoloration, or a hollow sound when tapped. If you observe these signs, it's advisable to consult a professional for an assessment.
