<DIV style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif; font-size:10pt;"><FONT size="2">Wow, thanks Mike ! The gel coat was extremely thin. When I did the mold I used "tooling gel coat " and I painted it on and hence put it on much thicker. Then when I did my part I sprayed it on , it goes on more uniformly but apparently I did not do enough coats. And on top of that I let it sit for two days. </FONT><DIV><FONT size="2"><BR></FONT></DIV><DIV><FONT size="2">Brian</FONT></DIV><DIV><FONT size="2"><BR></FONT></DIV><DIV><FONT size="2"><BR></FONT><BR><SPAN style="font-size: 10pt;">--- personal_submersibles@psubs.org wrote:</SPAN><BR><BR><SPAN style="font-size: 10pt;">From: Michael Dell via Personal_Submersibles <personal_submersibles@psubs.org></SPAN><BR><SPAN style="font-size: 10pt;">To: Personal Submersibles General Discussion <personal_submersibles@psubs.org></SPAN><BR><SPAN style="font-size: 10pt;">Subject: Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] gel coat nightmare</SPAN><BR><SPAN style="font-size: 10pt;">Date: Tue, 18 Dec 2018 12:15:37 +1000</SPAN><BR><BR><DIV dir="auto" style="font-size: 10pt;">Too much mold release wax will only cause a problem called pre release...

<DIV>Brian,</DIV><DIV>sorry to see your troubles, but I think you you have a bad chemical reaction rather than lay up thickness problem . I am having morning coffer with a life long friend that used to be in the hot tub business. He made moulds for a living. I will get the skinny from him for you.</DIV><DIV>Hank</DIV><DIV><BR></DIV>
