What to Do If Mold Gel Coat Is Too Thick?

When mold gel coat is too thick to spray, many people use styrene or acetone to thin it for practical application. However, this is not the best solution. Typically, manufacturers have already adjusted the gel coat viscosity for direct use. Any additional thinning can alter its properties, potentially causing issues like bubbles or pinholes. Experienced workers recommend using an appropriate nozzle to meet spraying needs. This is the best approach and highly recommended.
