Gelcoat and Flowcoat
Gelcoat is the first layer added to a mould when making a fibreglass part - It is a thixotropic resin which forms the outer layer of the finished part. With the addition of a wax solution, gelcoat becomes flowcoat which will cure in contact with air and thus is used on boat surfaces , GRP roofs etc
Here's a video that explains the difference between gelcoat and flowcoat (topcoat) and whether you can flowcoat on top of flowcoat!
