Brief Description:  Shelling the cowl and filling the tail fairing

The shelling process is a messy job but one picks up experience quickly. I used West epoxy with Fast 506 hardener. The process goes like this, mix a batch of epoxy, brush or pour it on the part and the remove all the epoxy possible with and squeegee or a credit card. Then wait about 2 hours for the coated part to get almost set or tacky then repeat 2 more times. When done you have a very shinny fiberglass part, hopefully with all the little pin holes filled. More tomorrow
