    I’m just as curious Racer. Should there not be a cutout in the top and bottom of that gasket? I see the ports in the head but no way for water to pass.

    Gelcoat can come with or with out wax in the formula. To play it safe I would wet sand the area with 600 paper first and wipe it down with acetone. Do your paint job and clear coat over it. Best
