    Assume this white is the wax when it gets wet it shows up Other pic is where gelcoat didn't adhere, that's a easy fix I'll just send down wash with acetone and reshoot , I believe it just set off too fast from heat and didn't adhere

    Well got a couple issues so far adhesion in the inside of bow area ,easily fixed but not sure why , my guess is it was too hot when I did that side, got to post when a mess up happens as much as when things are good :) I'll get it sorted . Just sucks materials ain't cheap!

    Got out here at 4 am since weather has been crap, got the wax remover on and stripping away, what a task this been lol, a wipe down with acetone would never pull all this wax off. I'm doing wax removal to be able to sand cause this stuff woulda gummed up the sandpaper pretty fast!

    Read.a interesting artical about this wax evidently when military use to use it they did study's about the wax propagating through consecutive layers and it would,they would slap coat after coat on top of each other within a certain window of time and see, not sure how they would see unless...

    Although it could be sticky because of wax itself since so hot, I'll do water test if it clouds it's wax

    Well I'm sure that is probably taken into account I mean they wouldn't mix it in there if it could compromise it since they have no way of knowing if all of it migrates, guess that's why it bound to the styrene ?

    So this you might find interesting, I shot some of the waxed gelcoat yesterday but it kept going off in gun , so I stopped this morning I touched the boat the resin is sticky like non waxed then I thought dam resin went off so fast that the wax never had a chance to migrate to surface... Interesting
