What he meant is to get rid of the smooth glossy surface of the gelcoat - #180 grit wet dry should do or preferably aluminum oxide sanding strips
(I use Abramat brand) which you use dry.
BTW, laminating resins are waxed but
gelcoats are unwaxed and needed to be shielded from oxygen to be able to cure - hence used in a female mold and laminated over.
Flowcoat (covercoat) on the inside of moldings, IOW over the laminates are also waxed to be able to cure...
Contact glue should do the trick or use SikaFlex 292
(expensive way)
