One of the suggestions that I would make to some one that is tackling a project like this is to make sure your surfaces are very flat. I just ground these down and it was to rough and if you look close you can see some air bubbles. Nothing to freak out about but not perfect.

This part with all the different angles had to be done in 9oz glass. The DB would have been to hard to work onto all the different angles.

We used a projuct called Cavasile (sp) on the inside corners to make it so that the glass could make the corners with out airbubbles. We just mixed it up thick and put it on with a trowel.

Well after quite a bit of consultation with a couple of OSO's pro's I made a mix of projuct to start fairing out the glass. It was easy to sand and seems to stick really well. I am currently spreading this stuff on with a brush and puddy knif. I am then sanding it with a DA long board and a hutchens mud slinger.

This is before I sanded it (sorry for the crappy quality. My cammera would not focus on this stuff.

Keep knocking at it your going forward Jon.

Now I see what you have been up to. I like the look of the windscreen. I'd like to swing by some time and check out the project in person some time. Is the boat in Manchester? I'm real good at passing tools and holding beer...

Groove any time you want to stop by let me know. I am ussually there on the weekends. This Saturday I will be up in NH to see the wooden boat show. Friend of mine is a judge. I think it will be cool to go check out and Pam wants one real bad. Sunday afternoon I will be back at it again.

Jon, the fairing project looks great! Keep up the great job and the updates

Thanks

I have been working on it a bit lately but not taking many pictures. Not much to see really as it is just sand the stuff down tell you see the glass then put more filler on it then sand it down again. Lots of work on the old arms I tell ya but it is getting close to the point of maybe getting to actually spray on the primer. I hope by the end of this weekend.
