Orange Tooling Gelcoat

Hard, scratch- and solvent-resistant high-gloss tooling gelcoat for building molds, extending mold life and easing part release.

Description

Orange Tooling Gelcoat is formulated specifically for making molds. It cures extremely hard and scratch resistant, and its very high gloss makes parts easier to pull from the mold. FGCI says it significantly extends mold life, giving cleaner pulls and less mold maintenance. Duratec High-Gloss Additive can be added for an even higher gloss.
