Now it's time for Malibu's gel-coat artists to begin the application of hand applied tape lines onto the mold. Malibu uses 3M Fine- Line tapes to create razor sharp separation lines from one gel coat colour to the next. With the mold completely taped off it is ready for gel-coat application. Malibu uses a temperature regulated gel-coat spray booth to apply temperature regulated gel coats. Our gel-coats are the most advanced on the market and offer qualities such as, lower emissions, improved flexibility, and superior weather resistance to fading and chalking. The predetermined gel-coat thickness of .25 mils is constantly measured by Malibu's gel-coat sprayers. This measure allows for outstanding cosmetic qualities, but also is not too thick that it will lead to yellowing or gel-coat cracking. Malibu chooses the optimum thickness of .25 mils to ensure long lasting vibrant gel-coat finish.
