  • Description: Lilly Ram's gel coat technology significantly reduces styrene emissions, shrinkage, and costly overspray. In addition, Ram gelcoats yield improved weather ability and osmotic blister resistance when compared to similar conventional gelcoats. Topcoats are formulated to ensure an air-cure product, eliminating the need for PVA/wax, and resulting in a nearly walk-away, gloss finish with both exceptional scratch resistance and UV protection.

DO YOU NEED WAX, PVA, OR AN ADDITIVE?
here is some more info on each option:

Gelcoat won't cure properly on its own because it needs help to overcome air exposure. You'll need either wax or a clear additive to ensure it hardens. Wax creates a surface barrier for open mold repairs (followed by sanding/polishing), while an additive chemically cures the gelcoat for closed molds or thicker layers. Choose the best approach based on your project's mold type and desired finish.

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.

Remember: Catalyst (MEKP) is always needed. Don't skip these steps!
