Brief Description:  More exterior sanding and epoxy application

Today is quite humid. Temp was 73 and so was the humidity percent. Nice!
I removed the lower cowl. I had applied a thin coat of epoxy with micro balloons to smooth out any voids last session.
SSanded the entire bottom cowl with 80 grit and cleaned up and then applied a single coat of epoxy with acetone. The plan is to sand this and apply sanding primer to see how well pin holes are being filled. If there arent too many problem areas, Ill just sand the primer away in problem areas and ad some filler.

Sanded the top cowl as well. The last session was when I applied two coats of epoxy with acetone so today was light sanding and then application of epoxy with micro. This will be sanded like the bottom cowl was today and then a layer of epoxy and acetone on that before primer sprayed on.

At this point, bottom cowl has two coats on inside surface and 4 coats with sanding between coats on the exterior.
The top cowl has 3 coats exterior and none inside surface yet.
