Kevlar is easy to cut as long as you use the right tools. Ceramic shears aren't cheap, but they work. Just don't try to sand it. It won't happen. Just turns into yellow fuzz that's next to impossible to get rid of. I just put a layer of glass over it, bag it with peel ply, and leave it alone until it's primed. If you're careful with the layup it'll be flat enough that high build primer will take care of any problems with the surface. -- Steve [email protected] He who seeks will find, and he who knocks will be let in.
