Rich,
I know you did a fantastic job with your gelcoat, but I'm simply amazed how few issues you had with polishing through the gelcoat. I don't know if Steve is suffering like me, but there are few flash lines I've managed to scrape back where I haven't gone through the gelcoat long before the flash line is anywhere near flush!
I don't know how long it's going to take me to get my panels presentable, but I think I might go potty before I reach a decent finish
.
Cheers,
John.
