PRODUCT FAQ

  1. What is 3M™ Perfect-It™ Gelcoat Heavy Cutting Compound, 36102 used for?

    The 3M™ Perfect-It™ Gelcoat Heavy Cutting Compound, 36102 designed to remove scratches and oxidation from gelcoat. It works best on heavier-duty surface restoration projects.

  2. Can this product be applied by hand or does it require a machine polisher?

    While the compound can be applied with a wool pad by hand, it's best to use a machine polisher to achieve optimal results.

  3. How long should I expect the quart bottle of product to last when polishing my gel coat?

    The amount of time that one quart bottle will last depends on several factors like how much area you are covering and how heavily oxidized the surface is. Typically, you should expect one bottle of product per medium sized boat.

  4. Is there any other additional equipment I should purchase with this specific heavy-duty cutting compound?

    We recommend purchasing foam pads based on your polishing needs such as our highly popular 3M™ Wool Compounding Pad (05711) or White Foam Polishing Pad (5717).

  5. Are there any post-application steps required after using the 3M Heavy-Duty Cutting Compound on my boat's gelcoat finish?

    The final step in restoring shine to your boat’s gel coat would be applying wax which will preserve that shine longer than just polishing alone.
