Sorry. Gelcoat gets wprayed onto the tool prior to laying-up material for the finished product. Gelcoat is optional and some manufacturers forego this step. Gelcoat is actually kind of rare outside of boating and small aircraft.

Have you seen this?

Use this link :Step by Step Boat Building

Baja Daze, Just a correction. The Tool is framed before removing from the plug. Otherwise you can end up with warpage

Below is the plug for the 22' Bullet
