The wife took the kids to Cape Cod, so I finaly have some time to devote to glassing.
I put a seal coat on the hull over the weekend.
Last night I glassed two layers on the hull, a full size layer and chine to chine football shaped layer.
This morning I added bias strips to the ends and applied a thin fill coat with a roller.
My questions...
1) When/how do I remove the rough edge of the football shaped layer? The fabric frayed a little when I applied the epoxy. Do I let it set for some time, then plane/sand? Do I deal with it prior to it curing? Do I clean up this area before or after appling the remaining fill coats?
2) I ran a layer of waxpaper down deck/hull seam. I have a few spots along the seam where the glass did not quite lie flat, there are little triangle raised areas. How do I deal with these? Just cut/sand them down once all is cured? or is there a time?
Thanx, I really feal like I don't know what I'm doing for the first time in this process.
