MEKP is composed of methyl ethyl ketone peroxide, a catalyst, added to polyester and vinyl resins. When MEKP is mixed with the resin, the resulting chemical reaction causes heat to build up and cure or harden the resin. -
Styrene is commonly used to thin down polyester resins and gelgoats -
A thickened high quality resin, designed to top coat fiberglass lamination. Gelcoats give a better look and protection to the fiberglass underneath. Dyes can be added to change color.

Air Dry is used when to turn your unwaxed resin in to waxed for your final top coat. If you only need one jug of resin or gelcoat and you plan to do multiple layers, then you need this as an additive for that last layer. It contains parrifin wax suspended in styrene solvent. The wax rises to the surface as the material cures and seals the surface from oxygen. Resin will only cure in the absence of oxygen so this is needed for the top layer. If it is not used the top layer will feel sticky (especially in the heat). -
