Well it was a hydro in pretty bad shape first off. So when I got it, I gutted it. Then I got my dad to cap it and help me flip it over to do the bottom. Then he gelled the whole bottom up to the cap. Then we flipped it and worked the top. Once the top was looking good we sprayed automotive paint on the top, then I had the graphics put on the top and the boat cleared all the way down to the runners on the sides and to the bottom of the sponsons. So the bottom is solid gel. So the only thing that I don't like is the clear. It has certain spots where there is pin holes and I don't know if the clear should fill that. And you can feel a slight edge on the graphics and striping. The whole boat was color sanded and buffed out after the clear was finished. Ok, if the pinholes are in the hull the clear won't fill them properly. It may look like it but overtime they'll turn to blisters and then you'll have a real mess. If the pinholes are in the clear it could be what we call solvent pop. In that case you could sand the hull and reclear it and that would also take care of your edge problem. Solvent pop is caused by applying to much material into short of time and by doing that your sealing the solvents in before they have a chance to get out, and when you colorsand the job they open up and leave what looks like a pinhole. The only real way to determine the problem would be to see it.
