Abstract
A spray-up operator may conveniently control the application of a gel-coat material to a mold or preform to achieve a uniform coating by using an application means comprising a manipulatable nozzle and air control assembly including a liquid nozzle for forming the catalyzed gel-coat material into a fan-like film with substantially flat faces and expanding stream-like edges extending from a liquid orifice, and an air nozzle assembly for directing independently controllable flows of compressed air at the substantially flat faces and at the expanding stream-like edges of the fan-like film.
