t is it normal for it to not fill all the way on the first (actually seconc ) coat? or is it the norm to have to add another coat to fill the weave?

RE: Fiber glassing question.
Thanks a lot falcon. You've been a big help. I'm assuming not to mix it too thick? How about where the float bottom meets the sides and it changes to 1/2 oz cloth? Do I over lap or just try to make a nice sharp edge?

RE: Fiber glassing question.
That's another thing that I've never done, silk span and dope. I started in the hobby too late for that. Until now it's just been all plastic film crap that I hate. Does the silk span finish as hard and smooth as glass?thanks, Steve.
