When storing gel coats in hot weather, following specific guidelines is important to maintain usability. Here are some tips for storing gel coats in hot weather:

Temperature and Sunlight: Store the gel coat in a cool, dry place away from sunlight and heat sources. The ideal temperature for storing gel coat is between 60°F and 80°F. Exposure to heat and sunlight can cause the gel coat to harden and become unusable.

Shaded Area: Keep the gel coat out of direct sunlight by storing it in a shaded area. This helps prevent hardening due to exposure to sunlight.

Airtight Container: Store the gel coat in an airtight container to prevent moisture from getting in, which can also cause the gel coat to harden.

Following these storage tips ensures that your gel coat remains usable even in hot weather conditions.
