Nose Cone Problem
Tried doing a search and somewhere someone had the same problem. Seems like no matter what I use the filler always cracks. Even tried grey Marine Tex. Any suggestions ?
|
I used marine epoxy to hold the nose cones on, then used fiberglass fiber body filler to smooth the tranition. Regular bondo didn't hold up.

This will be the 2nd season. I overdid it on the epoxy (Sea Poxy) then sanded it down so the seam wasn't noticable, then put the fiberglass over it for the final.

Thanks PB. I'll give it a shot.
