Is it ok to glass over gelcoat like this? I've got a similar task to accomplish.... I need to make and attach a tab or bracket to a fiberglass tank, so I can mount it on a cb350 with the stock rubber mount at the rear. I've heard the glass won't stick to the gel well but it looks like you pulled it off pretty clean... Thoughts?
 
Works ok mate just used heavy grade sand paper (80 grade) to give it a good key and the same with your fixings , then clean of with acetone based cleanser (even nail varnish remover has acetone in it ), I pre -glued the fixing in place using heavy duty bonding glue, let it set properly then fibreglass it make sure you got a good size contact patch and you should be good to go mate
