: Nice looking project.....I might have to make one

: Why did You go with the gel coat instead of adding yellow dye to the resin?

: How much does it weight?

: Best Wishes
: Roy

Gel coat is harder, less porosity, and polishes up nicely. I did a couple natural shells first and painted one orange with a rattle can. This just came out a lot nicer.

Weight is 17 ounces.

Best,

Reg
