I am in the middle of reviving the oxidized gelcoat on my 35' 5th wheel. I started with a ladder in the morning and realized that this was going to be long excruciating process. By the end of the day I had found a used section of scaffolding complete with side extensions for the plank, for...

Primo, In the problem areas in front of the windshield, I have what looks like really fine pitting(pinholes) after compounding out the oxidation and leveling the orange peel effect. Is this the porosity that you mentioned in an earlier reply or something else? I have left it at this stage and...

The orange peel effect is only on the white gel coat above and below the water line. Did a little more testing this evening and this is what I found. It is visible before any work is done but it is not real obvious exept the two problem areas. Lightly compounding with wool/561 it is real...
