Sanded Gel coat which was extremely worn with a rough surface prior to sanding (25 yrs weathered).
I used one gallon Polyurthane enamel primer (3 coats spread over 3 weeks) sanded between coats.
I used one gallon Polyurthane Bright White enamel ( 3 coats spread over 3 weeks) sanded between coats.
Thin coat of clear laquer on top of Hulls to add shine (whew what a refelction).
Presently polishing imperfections (Smoothing).
Yes, it is soft but Hobie will not see action until next June. The body shop said it will be rock hard by then, with maximum protection from scuffing. The way to go in both time and cost, but the concern is time for hardening.
