Hi All,
As I have nearly finished my cowling (and most of my canopy) and hated every minute of the fiberglass work, I am curious on guidelines for prepping the surface.
Some questions:
1) Appliying additional fiberglass
- Can it be applied over epoxy/micro or epoxy/flox (I don't think so?)
- If applying over a "finished" piece of fiberglass, how should it be prepared? Epoxy surface scuffed down to glass layer? Light sanding to roughen surface? Etc.
- How do gel coated items (wingtips, etc.) appy? Same rules?
2) Priming/painting fiberglass
- Must Smooth Prime or equivalent be applied first?
- Lightly scuff surface of epoxy?
Thanks,
Scott
