Hello, I'm looking for advice on how to finish a recoring project. I've recored around the deadlights on a Tanzer 22 and need to make everything look nice again. I removed the interior fiberglass skin for the recoring and have epoxied it back in place. Now I need to decide how to proceed. Should I sand out a wider "v" in the cut and just fill it with epoxy fairing compound (followed by primer/paint), or do I need to do it the "right" way and sand a 12:1 bevel which I fill with fiberglass cloth and then fair?
I ask because most of the recoring examples I've seen are on the exterior. This isn't a structural seam, and it doesn't need to be waterproof. As such, I'm hoping I might be able to get away with just epoxy fairing (much quicker, especially the sanding prep).
I would appreciate any advice, particularly from someone who has made a similar repair. Thanks.
