Gelcoat surfaces in contact with air do not dry and tend to remain sticky because of air inhibition. It is very difficult to sand these surfaces. This property limits the use of gelcoats in some applications. Topcoats, with paraffin in their formulation, provide a complete surface cure that is able to be sanded and polished after curing of the surface layer.
Topcoats create a finished surface after sanding and polishing steps.
