The reason for me to have a look at the keel joint in the first place was that the bondo was cracking and falling off. There would have been no reason to sand the original bondo so smooth, or at all. I just heated it with a torch and scraped it of. Besides, bondo is pink. |
So what's with all the "crazing", "cracking" and "fissuring" looking areas in that photo?? It looks ratehr delineated to be feathering marks but the pic quality is very low.
That's quite odd & I've never experienced that with
epoxy? Polyester, yes, due to shrinkage, but
epoxy no....
Also when I mix with
epoxy the filler layers, color wise, are not anywhere near that visible or discernible, like they are with a colored creme hardener product such as Bondo..
Which
Epoxy and what hardener did you use??
This is how I'm used to seeing multiple fairing layers look.
