Gel Coat Cracking
Hairline cracks in exterior gel coat surfaces are traditionally treated as a cosmetic problem. However, barring some deficiency in manufacturing, such as thickness gauging, catalyzation or mould release technique, gel coat cracks often are the result of design inadequacies and can lead to further deterioration of the laminate. Gel coat formulations represent a fine balance between high gloss properties and material
toughness. Designers must be constantly aware that the gel coat layer is not reinforced, yet it can experience the highest strain of the entire laminate because it is the farthest away from the
neutral axis.
