You've probably heard it before: don't put gelcoat over epoxy. But is it actually true?

We put it to the test. Both an epoxy panel and a polyester panel were sanded through 80, 120, 220, and 400 grit and finished with gelcoat to see how well it held at the feathered edge. The result? Clean edges on both panels. No flaking, no ghosting, no difference in adhesion.

That's the feather edge test. We ran two more after this one.  See all three test results in the full-length video on our YouTube channel!

Hand lamination vs. vacuum bagging: how big is the thickness difference, really?

Bigger than you might think. We laid up 5 layers of 737 17 oz. biaxial fiberglass both ways and measured the results after cure. The vacuum bagged panel came out 40% thinner than the hand-laminated one.

That's not just a fun fact. It changes how you plan your layup schedule if you're trying to match the stiffness of your original surface. WEST SYSTEM Technical Advisor Avery walks through the full breakdown in the complete video on our YouTube channel!
