Default Re: fairing compounds

Ben-

For the areas where I am using polyester I am using LBI Fiberglass brand "Fair so Light". I am very pleased with it thus far. I would compare it to an auto body filler that is a bit easier to sand.

For the areas where epoxy was used I am using microballoons also from LBI fiberglass. For all of the screw holes I have been grinding them out and filling with sturated mat and then the appropriate filler.

For fairing I have been using a Porter Cable 6 inch variable DA and various air tools. I also plan to use a 3 foot long board for the sides of the hull.
