Epoxy?

XShark,

What kindof fairing compound do you use and what are the steps for making it a smooth surface without being wavy?

X-Shark · 01-16-2012, 05:36 AM

I use System Three's "Quik Fair".

A Long board and a LOT of Stroking.

Got the Bracket blasted and in primer with Deft 44GY49 Primer.
A very tenacious non sanding primer. It will then be topped with 545.

Epoxy resin is what I mean. Once you use epoxy you will never use polyester resin again. On his build you can see the clearness of the epoxy and epoxy with filler and epoxy with fairing filler.

Excellent work..!!
