Many gelcoat manufacturers recommend not applying over epoxy but West Systems claims that their product line can be successfully used with gelcoat. They have information on their website pertaining to this topic. The most important thing to remember with epoxy is to remove the amine blush prior to overcoating with any product whether it be another coat of epoxy, paint, gelcoat or anything else. Amine blush is easily removed with plain water and a Scotchbrite pad. I have done hull repairs with West System and put gelcoat over the top of it with excellent results.
