: 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.

My experience was when I scraped and sanded while the epoxy was green I left white spots in the glass fabric and the epoxy also smeared into white splotches from the scraping. Now I let the epoxy cure for two or three days before scraping and sanding. I also go over the scraped and sanded area with a wet towel and if I have white spots that won't dissapear I go back and work on them.

If I have a glass area that won't lay down while I am epoxying I cut it with scissors and it falls into place.
