    Hello!

    I'm about to vacuum infuse some hatches for my sailing school. Will be using Pro-Set INF epoxy with fiberglass.

    Question is - how do I pick the right gel coat? Does anyone have any experience with this? Really don't want any nasty surprises down the line, i.e. bonding issues or the like. Also would like to pop finished parts out of the mold, so I'd rather not paint them afterwards.

    Thanks!
