[NSRCA-discussion] gel coat ??

[Chris Moon]

Steve:
    Most fuses don't have an actual gel coat but just a coat of primer 
which the thinner might attack.  A true gel coat is tough like a normal 
resin coat and should be ok against thinner but I have never seen a 
model fuse with a true gel coat.  I would lightly wipe off what you can 
of the lustercoat with the thinner and wet sand the rest.
