We encourage owners to coat the material. Gel coat adheres well to the material with little surface prep.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do I need to surface prep the parts?\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Yes, a denatured alcohol wipe is all you need to remove dirt and oil and then the adhesives do the rest of the work.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do I need to fiberglass over top of the parts?\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>No!
