The black gelcoat decided to set rather quickly. This might be because I was holding the plastic pot in my warm hand or because the proportions were slightly wrong. This meant that the last bit of the keel strip went a bit lumpy.
In retrospect, I should have stopped as soon as the gelcoat started to go off. I could then have mixed up a fresh batch. However, I tried to save myself some time and paid the consequences.
It was nice to see that peeling off the masking tape gave a clean edge to the keel strip.
I used 150g of gelcoat, with 3ml of catalyst. Most of this went onto the boat although I probably wasted over 25g.
