  • Welcome Back! Today we're finishing some odds and ends on the XP800's hull so we can start assembly.
    Upon wet sanding the bottom side of the hull we found that an old repair was not coming back to its original color and making the entire water line look terrible. So with that being said enjoy our gel coat process.
    As always we will answer questions in the comments section so feel free to ask away.

      @@TodayWeWrench side note, we had our race boat bottoms sanded rough. Theory was it created a layer of bubbles on the hull. Water flows over water with less resistance.

    Do you run some kind of dust filter? How bad is the mess in the garage afterwards ?

    Excellent video! Thank you! I noticed on the bottom of the ski I recently purchased that there are places wood is exposed. Can I layer gel coat or should I apply fiberglass sheets, sand then apply gel coat?

    What do you guys think about gatorglide vs redoing the gel coat?

    • @TodayWeWrench
      @TodayWeWrench  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It's a classic and rare hull. I like the gator glide but defiantly not on this one. No need to redo any more than we did, it came out great

    Why would you not take the black trim off and paint up to it?

    • @TodayWeWrench
      @TodayWeWrench  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      The sides were sanded and blended in.The gelcoat was mainly for the center and outer chines. Once we sanded it out and buffed it out it matched spot on and you couldn't even tell where the blend started and ended.

  • @pballersrp1
    @pballersrp1 ปีที่แล้ว

    if you did the top side would you gelcoat, a topside paint or automotive paint? I would think sanding and buffing gelcoat in the footwells area would suck. But not sure how well auto paint would hold up.

    What Evercoat kit did you use, the brushless gelcoat? The one I got came with the color tubes and the gelcoat filler tube and hardener, but i didn't have that other large container of gelcoat you had that you rolled on.

    When you added the additional coats of gelcoat, did you wet sand or just sand normally between the coats?

    My biggest question is how to you flip the hull like that. I have a 2002 GTX and that B**** is heavy. Later.

      They gut all the internals out so its super light and basically just a jetksi shell.

    Good afternoon, can you tell me how difficult it is to flip the jetski. I'm assuming you have to drain all the gas?

    Do you have a mix ratio of Canary Yellow to White for the gelcote? I ordered a color chip of the Canary Yellow from Bottom Paint store and it's way too dark.
