After some help I am making a rc booat deck I have made them before in gel coat only but I am going to put carbon down the centre with gel coat around the sides . After laying gel coat & taped up the edge when I removed the tape the gel coat pealed off not leaving a nice edge for the carbon to go onto . So my question is how long do u leave the gel coat before u remove the tape to get a nice straight edge thanks Mick
Pull it as soon as you are done applying the gel. It also helps to pull it up and back over the gelcoated surface so any little “tails” of gelcoat don’t fall onto the unpainted surface.
Thanks very much Roger ill try that & see how I go
Also pull the tape up at 90 degrees, it will give you a cleaner edge on the gelcoat.
