HI all,

More notes on the first stage of fiberglass. When doing the fin post apply your slow west systems reduced with acetone (about 50% reduction) with a epoxy brush. Just do a thin coat with the brush. It's a small area and with the reduced resin it's hard to add too much epoxy. Once you've brushed on the epoxy rub in your micro-balloons. On the lower chin area use 2 oz cloth, there is no need to fill the weave with micro-balloons as it will be enclosed by the chin cowl - it will fill well enough with the primer - it's also too hard to sand that area if you do use the micro balloons.

Once these areas cure, I trim away excess cloth with a single edge razor and sand flush any overhang. then your ready for next steps...
