Default Dick's Waves

The current distortion isn't too bad and
could most likely be fixed with a extra coat or 2 of gel confined to the
spar area. However, not sure thick gel is a good idea on an asw20 with
such flexible wings.

Thanks

if your refinish is being done properly, they wont fill any low spots or spar bumps with gelcoat. by the time the wings get painted they should already be smooth. an even topcoat of gelcoat is sprayed, so i wouldn't worry about that.

In any case an extra pass or two of gelcoat won't make much of a difference, as far as wingflex is concerned.
