| Okay, so I glued and brad nailed it all together Friday and today I am adding body filler to fillet the edges and skimcoat the wood for a smoother finish. I cut a tool out of plexiglass to shape the fillets. I'm using actual "Bondo" which really seems to have a short working time. Maybe I'm mixing it too hot, but I hear that the Evercoat brand is MUCH better. I guess I should have looked for some place that sells Rage Gold or something over the weekend...

Just spray it with Feather fill and block sand it. That stuff is amazing, spray bondo. Oh and that looks great. You do very clean, precise work, take great pictures, and do a great job of explaining what you are doing. I've always liked about you.

I get mine from Eastwood. They were having a 10% sale. It was around $53 a gallon but you could get it in quarts. I used it on my wood project and it covered up all the wood grain and sealed it at the same time. I love the stuff.

| I just sprayed the orange tooling gelcoat. Unfortunately, it really orange peeled. Hopefully some of it will smooth out as it sets up and I can wetsand the rest. Normally, the gelcoat is sprayed onto a mold (or a plug) and will be pulled off. The visible side is the side against the mold and the orange peel side then gets covered with layers of fiberglass. I've never done it this way before. In other words normally you work from the outside in and this time I built the mold from the inside out.
