I decided to cover the right side of the canopy skirt with Super-fil tonight.
I began by mixing the epoxy compound but this time I decided to use some acetone to thin the puddy out a little. I was careful not to put too much and it helped making the putty a little easier to apply but the consistancy was still on the thick side. Perhaps I could have experimented more but I got it coated and will let it dry for a few days before sanding.
