Topside Fairing

Flipped the boat right side up and started fairing. I used a fairing compound I got from US composites along with the US Composites epoxy. This epoxy is actually really good for fairing because it is already kind of thick.

I mixed it up and poured it over the various sections of the boat. Once it cures I just sand it down with the polisher with 36 grit, and then move on down to about 80 grit at the end. It sands pretty easy, and spreads nicely over the glass, filling the weave.

I got Robert to help me sand it, and this day was tough for both of us. It was a lot of work, and a lot of glass particles down the shorts and all over.
