use of kitty hair
 

Hey guys question for you all. I am working on a 20-foot 1978 Master Angler. Since it is too cold in NJ to work with fiberglass and the transom, I have been doing other things to keep myself busy.http://i596.photobucket.com/albums/t...h/DSCN3403.jpg There were many holes in the center console that I filled with kitty hair. My plan is to shoot the whole console with gelcoat when I am done. Even though wet sanding with 250 grit has the repair flush, I noticed there are minute holes(size of a pinhead)in the kitty hole part of the repair. Should I spray over these or should I use something else to fill in these minute holes first? Any help is much appreciated.

Because of the pinholes and the fact that the kittyhair is dark in color, you may want to brush some gelcoat over the kittyhair repairs. It will fill the pinholes and will better hide the repairs. Once the gelcoat cures....do a final fairing and then you will be okay to spray with gelcoat.

Yeah, I would pick up a gallon of faring compound, your going to find good use for it else where too.
