I'm not an expert on gel coats, and I missed the second day at Staverton,
but I believe that gel coats require a hard waxing every year, last time I
knew someone who had it done on a glider (The hard wax that is, not the
gel coat) it cost about =A3300. This isn't an argument against gel coat
(There's nothing more beautiful than a well finishd and cared for hot glass
glider in my opinion), but something to bear in mind...
