Need some help with fairing, etc.

[Cheg]

Quickfair is a good product.I am currently involved in what is often referred to as an intimate relationship(love hate I might add) with it. In warm temps keep the batches small. When doing initial coats, where it goes on fast, the most I mix up is 16 oz. I mix up half that much when fixing a lot of small divits that take more time. I read with interest the trowel idea. The surface of the cured QF needs to be sanded between coats. The resulting grooves that would remain after the initial coat would need to be wire brushed very well. The one time I just wire brushed the first coat, the next coat didn't adhere well enough(the leading edge would flake off in places)so I sanded it all off and did it again. Also mix it very well. The two parts when fully mixed don't look that different from unmixed part A. When scraping the sides to get every last drop out the batch I've had some unmixed streaks. It's made me obsessive about scraping the sides while mixing. Just some basic advice from a rookie. Hope it helps someone.
