After I completed my first repair with it, I howled at the moon (sun, actually) and danced in the garage. My relationship with Marine Tex and other two-part mixes was almost history.
As far as gelcoat, prep the area as you would any fiberglass, then roll it on thinly and wet sand it smooth, repeating until you are happy with the coverage. I have only gelcoated two of my 35+ hull/rudders/centerboards repairs yet, as I am planning to spray gelcoat at the end of this season.
