I have a couple of blemishes but nothing I can&rsquo;t fix. I also made a few small panels on a piece of hardwood to practice on and it did great.</font><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"></font></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman">We used diluted Zpoxy finishing resin with acetone around 20%.</font><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"></font></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman">I have two other guys helping me with the project and we are going to start laying down FM this week. Everything has been primered, filled, and sanded and we are doing the final prep work.</font><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"></font></p>

I have completed some FM on the cowling but can't go any further until I receive the exhaust from Keleo.</font></p>
