Topcoat Additive - Easiest Option

Add Clear additive topcoat directly to your gelcoat (50/50 ratio) This gives you a smooth (nearly walk-away) finish and eliminates the need for PVA or wax! (You can choose to add Topcoat to your gelcoat order, and we will do this process for you!)

Surfacing Agent - Classic Approach

Surfacing agent at a 4% add is a classic method for creating a barrier to the air to allow the gelcoat to cure.

PVA - 2nd APPROACH

Apply PVA after your gelcoat cures and is tack free to help with mold release.

What's the Difference?

• PVA: This is water-soluble and is to create a barrier to the air for the gelcoat to cure.
• Surfacing Agent: This wax-like additive can be mixed with gelcoat, when it migrates to the surface it will create a barrier to the air allowing for the gel coat to cure.
• Clear Additive Topcoat: The ULITIMUTE SHORTCUT! This additive creates a flawless finish without the need for additional steps. (This additive creates a nearly walkaway finish, with minimal finish sanding and buffing).

How to Choose

• Project Size: Consider how big your project is and the shape of your mold to decide how best to use wax.
• Follow the Guide: Always check the gelcoat manufacturer's recommendations for the specifics of catalyst types and wax methods.
