| Gel-Coat is the hard shiny colored surface of your boat that provides beauty and protection for the fiberglass. It is usually .020-.050 in thickness. In the manufacturing process, the gel-coat is the first thing applied to the bright, shiny, and waxed mold. The fiberglass is then layered into the mold, forming the hull. Wood re-enforcements are added for stiffness. After curing, the boat is pulled from the mold, and the color and finish are already applied, making the finished hull or deck ready for assembly. Gel-coat damage comes in many forms. It can be worn through, exposing the fiberglass, or, because it's much harder than fiberglass resins, it can be chipped or fractured. At Bragg's Marine we use only gel-coat in the repair of your boats finish, not an after-market automotive paint. All color matching is done on site, and we use only the finest gel-coats available, proven with over thirty years of experience. This slow process assures that your repair will look flawless when completed and also for years to come. |
