Next, Icut up some 5oz and 6oz fiberglass cloth and mixed up some zpoxy finishing resin and laid it down over the monokote area. Iwent a little on the oversize direction but I wanted to make sure I had enough area to work with so I wouldn't be short. Make sure you really work the epoxy in well to get it all the way through the glass. Ibrush it on then use an old credit card to squeege it in and then brush it out smooth. Allow it to dry 24 hours then start sanding in place. If you get all the excess epoxy offwhen you laying it up then it shouldn't be to hard to smooth it out. You just want to get the rough spots out. Next I spray it with primer filler, which is heavier than just primer and fills all the small imperfections and the weave of the glass. Sand again with 150 grit then 220. Most of it will sand off leaving only the low areas with primer. Hit it again and when dry sand again the same. Next I use auto spot putty to fill in the worst areas and allow to dry then sand again. Another coat of primer and then wet sand with 220 and it should be good to go. Now to remove it all you need to do is slip a putty knife between the glass work and the mono and it should pop right off.
