William, I don't know that it matters much. It is in fact mentioned in
the early part of the build manual but easily overlooked. I know of two
very serious allergic reactions, one leading to the guy giving up the
build

your 'amour propre' insists on a perfect finish then fill any low areas and sand
it all down to a perfect finish. You should in any case sand all the gel coat
surface down to complete matness without the smallest bit of refective surface
visible, to give the optimum key to whatever paint system you plan to use.
One word of warning on which: The release agent used in the original gel coat
mould is a strong allergy inducer. Make very sure you have washed all gel coated
surfaces very thoroughly before you start sanding them and wear a good mask.
You might be totally immune to normal fibreglass dust but get caught out by
the gel coat dust which is a more sinister animal!

Does one have to sand down to the epoxy or can one fill on top of sanded the
gel coat?
> Will...I had the opposite problem...i.e., my lower half was proud, and problem
solved by adding spacers at each cleco and thickening the Redux bed. For your
case, i'd of course remove the gel coat along the edge of the upper half and
rough up the gel coat on the lower half; I don't think it's necessary to remove
the entire gel coat in order to add the requisite filler. Perhaps others w/
more knowledge than I will make other recommendations.
