I've used poly body filler for autobody stuff in the past but not sure if this would be suitable for plugs over polyurethane foam. Thanks.

Sand it of rough edges 5. add boddy filler polyesterbased if you used polyester with fiberglass, epoxybased if you used epoxy with fiberglass 6. repeat step 4 and 5 till perfect smooth surface 7. Paint with a 2K spraycan 8. Sand it a bit to remove "orange peel" 9. Polish it 10. Enjoy your work and have a beer... Matthieu Libeert Founder MAT2 Composites X Sports website: www.mat2composites.com
