OK...I have sanded and filled and sanded and filled the front canopy fairing to where I think it is in pretty good shape.
My quesiton is this....what it the best method for getting a nice unoform edge at the plexi transition? The instructions say to sand it done with 150 grit until it is about the same thickness of the 1st layer of tape, but that seems to result in "fraying" the fiberglass edge so that it is not uniform. If I build it up with epoxy/micro or smooth prime, it looks better but will be much thicker (can't get it down to one tape layer.
Should I...
- Not worry about getting a "thin" ledge at the transition and focus more on consistent edge with approrpriate filler?
- Sand through all the tape at the edge and fill back up and resand filler only?
Any other thoughts?
Thanks,
Scott
