Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method to prevent gelation of an uncured gelcoat composition during storage is described. The method includes applying a gelation inhibitor to the surface of a gelcoat composition in the container to prevent premature gelation. The gelation inhibitor additionally prevents the formation of a crust on the inner surface of storage container lids.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method to inhibit surface gelation of an uncured gelcoat composition, comprising: providing a storage container; filling the storage container with the gelcoat composition; and applying a gelation inhibitor to an upper surface of the gelcoat composition as a float having thickness of about 0.05 to 0.5 inches. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the gelation inhibitor is a solvent selected from the group consisting of hydrocarbons,…
