I’m going to try, one more time, to pull a full mold of the scoop on this hood before I start filling it in for the next phase of this project. After I get it gelcoated again, if it looks as if I have insufficient gelcoat in a few deep corners, would the thin spots be less likely to alligator if I filled the corners using a faster hardening PER based body filler w/ a BPO catalyst, rather than with a home brew filler with MEKP?
I know they both have a PER base, I just wondered if a different, and faster, catalyst would kick the cure before the styrene had a chance to react with the gelcoat?
Again… just curious.
