I know...I have a lot of sanding in the future. My plan is to sand with 60 grit, wipe down then fair a lot thinner, than sand with 120' then either do it again or lay some mat than continue fairing and sanding with higher and higher grit until it is good.

I know Dave, time I have today as the wife and kid are in Maine. I have Advil and colors light on hand though. I'll let you know how it goes. It's almost ready for sanding already. The product is poly fair from Mertons fiberglass. I may hit it with the orbital real quick all over then go to the sanding board which is ready to go.

Well, that sucked!!! Sanded down and 2nd coat of fairing applied (a lot thinner this time). Preparation is everything, wish I did a better job of sanding before applying the first coat of fairing and got everything as close to level as possible first. It won't be perfect but I hope I'll be happy with it.

FYI - Poly Fair is an epoxy product.
You cant/shouldn't ever put vinylester or polyester resins over epoxy. Vice-versa is OK though. Hope that didn't throw a monkey wrench in your mechanism... I'm right behind you on my transom. Got the new layers of Coosa and the new skin (I bought a sheet of 3/16 flat stock from graingers and cut it to fit) glassed on with West System yesterday. Even had the wife helping, fully suited up and everything! Went by the yard today to check it out, and all seemed mostly OK. One of the carriage bolts I used to bolt on some two by fours to compress everything was stuck really good. Must have not mold released it enough. Damaged the new skin a little getting it out. Had to mix up some thickened epoxy and inject it here and there. Then ground down the edges and prepped for the tabbing. Tomorrow lunch break she's getting her seams glassed. Then I'll dive into the poly-fair fun.

I may disagree with about the poly fair. I just did a quick google search cause you made me wicked nervous and it says it is a polyester base. I would think if it was epoxy they would call it epoxy-fair. Any body confirm either of our theories???
Make sure before you fair to sand everything as flat as possible and check it with a straight edge on multiple planes before you open any fairing containers. That's where I screwed up and got ahead of myself. Lots of extra sanding here today and its no where near perfect but I don't care anymore.

Doh!
You're right, I blew it. You wrote Poly-Fair I read Quik-Fair. Totally different products. You're right on track, my eyeball to brain connection had a failure...

Way to make me sweat. Post up some pics of your rebuild so we can compare some notes. This is my first rehab so I love seeing and herring from others to learn.
