Gelcoat thinkness

Hi all,

I was wondering what could go wrong if you apply gelcoat too thick?

What could make gelcoat turn out powdery?

I had a couple places on a boat recently popped that had cracked gelcoat. I flaked a couple pieces off and they crumbled in my hand.

Thanks for your help. Dave
