Marine Manufacturing

The production gel coat process — sanding and polishing for a flawless marine finish.

The Process

Production gel coat process

Marine production demands a flawless gel coat finish. Provas supplies Mirka's proven gel coat process, combining Galaxy abrasives with the DEROS II sander for defect removal, scratch conditioning and pre-polish sanding.

By extending the sanding sequence with progressively finer grits, boat builders shorten polishing time and lower total production cost.
