KR> Filling low spots in cured fiberglass without spending $200 on a can of EA960F

2015-08-14 Thread Lee Van Dyke
Depending on how low the low spots are, The best thing to use is a stick slurry 
of micro and resin.  Don't go to thick just fill the low spots. Then use the 
stuff Mark Jones talked about icing to feather out any small areas

KR> Filling low spots

2015-08-14 Thread Mark Jones
Hi Guys,
When I was building, Bill Clapp told me about a filling product used in the 
automotive paint shops called ?Icing?. This is a two part filler. It is 
absolutely the easiest filler I have ever sanded. It is super lightweight and 
will feather out on the edges exceptionally well. I used it all over my KR. It 
goes a long way so if you decide to try it buy the smallest tube which is about 
24 ounces. It cost about $25.
Try it, you will be glad you did.

You should have three ?board all different lengths and you should also have one 
that bends. Like on a thin piece of plywould or plexiglass for the double 
contour curves.

the article suggests laying on a coat of black primer before filling, to help 
visualize the topography during sanding. ?

the article suggests laying on a coat of black primer before filling, to help 
visualize the topography during sanding.  west system's benefit is strong 
bonding to old work.  but with primer in between, the only bond you have  think 
is the primer. at that point, may as well just use body filler, no?

Like Jeff mentioned, using your epoxy sytem and microspheres will give you the 
lightest and cheapes filler available.  Do not fill the low spots untill you 
are ready to fill the whole elevator.  Do it in one operation if possible.  
Then you can sing the sanding song while sanding.
