Another -10 builder, Gary Speceter advised me about a product called Evercoat METAL GLAZE, i picked some up yesterday. this stuff is a thinned body filler, that is specially formulated for Aluminum and fiberglass, as such t makes a perfect toot to use to fill the joints between the cabin top and the fuse side and aft skins. It also adheres to some plastics, so I tested it around the right rear window in a section to see if it would fill the area between the fiberglass lay-up and the fine line tape. IT worked perfectly! so I'm using it to blend the fiberglas tapes that I applied to the windows. I'm pretty happy with how this works, it is catalyzed and sets up to sand w/i 30 minutes and that make it much easier to work with. Because it 'flowable' it is also very easy to apply very thin coats and to feather edges, etc. I Also picked up some "BLOCKING' sanding blocks. They are a very hard high density foam rubber block (I got 3 different sizes) that you wrap your sand paper around and while they 'give' a little they also provide a firm even sanding base. It looks like they are working pretty well so far. I'm going to prime the entire cabin cover w/ SmoothPrime after I've finished all of the filling/blending work. I'll use the spary paint ducting them to see how 'even' it's turning out. etting this cabin cover, windscreen, and doors preped is going to take several days!!!!!!!
