Re: Gel Coat finish

Hi Rainsley, doesn't look good to me. I have never had any bother with mine. I would take it up with the manufacturer if I were you.
Cheers, Clive.

Re: Gel Coat finish

HI Rainsley

As you are based in birmingham I would suggest to go down to a company called POLYFIBRE who are based in ASTON on WAINWRIGHT STREET and they will be able to give you an honest opinion on what is causing this.
