One quart can is $17 dollars.
Does $17 worth of gel coat include it being thickened into a paste (which is what is needed to fill the typical screw holes, nicks and scratches) as well as the surface sealing wax to make it cure hard?
If so, I'd say that $17 is a good deal though the $5 savings is not really what I would call "much, much cheaper" or even merely "much cheaper" let alone "much, much, much, much cheaper" ;-)
I got my price wrong, its $19 for a quart and one extra dollar for wax. I haven't worked with what I have ordered yet, so I don't know how thick it is. Per unit price, I think the quart would qualify as much cheaper, but if you only need a little, the savings might not amount to much. If you compare spectrum's price for five gallons, over $700, to expresscomposites.com's price, $260 shipped, I would say much, much, much, much cheaper. The price I was quoted by spectrum didn't include hazmat and shipping.

They didn't charge me to mix, I don't know if this will change in the future.
