Spot Repairs

Step 5: Squeegee over back of Flex-Mold with a wiping motion using moderate pressure.
Step 6a: Let cure and remove Flex-Mold.
Step 6b: Use a hardwood stick or like object to remove the excess gel coat from the pre-waxed surface from around the repair area.
Step 6c: If done properly, color match is good and the pattern lends itself to a good match up, a near perfect repair will result.

The Flex-Mold is coated with green polyvinyl (PVA). This serves as a release agent, as well as a barrier coat that prevents a chemical reaction that will occur between the Flex-Mold and gel coat, resulting in a distorted pattern.

The Flex-Mold can be used repeatedly, as long as the PVA coating is intact. Oce PVA has begun to come of the Flex-Mold, wash remaining PVA off with water. Let Flex-Mold dry and reapply PVA with a spray gun by misting on about six coats.
