Sanding the new side panel


This is the start of the sanding of the new fill-in. The forward part is pretty close and the rear is still lacking. You can see the primer still exsist in the rear of the fill-in because I have not gotten it sanded down to its flat-plain yet. After I am done with the level sanding I will lay on a thin coat of filler (bondo) and sand that completely off to just fill in the pin holes. The pin holes are from small air pockets that cannot be seen with the naked eye to most that open up to the finished layer when you sand them off. Very easy to fill with the Bondo. I have found this to be faster because when you gelcoat over the holes (and gelcoat will fill them) they tend to just creat a small divit through the gelcoat. You see the craziness now???
