All this talk about gelcoat matching has got me thinking about everyone's seemingly universal preference for using epoxy (West system in particular) for doing repairs. I am contemplating the purchase of a boat that I know has a couple of soft deck issues, and it seems to me that since this is an all too frequent repair, how does one get the gelcoat to stick? I don't want to use paint. Gelcoat manufacturers say don't do it. West says get rid of any amine blush, do everything by the book with the epoxy, and it should be ok. Anyone had problems with this, or is it just a bit of over caution on the part of gelcoat manufacturers as West claims?
