Hi Guys

I have a model which is plank on frame construction, the model was left in a warm room for many years and the planks have shrunk.

I have coated the inside of the hull with resin, and rolled it round to get an even coat, this got the resin into the major splits and sealed the hull.

Now to the outer hull, this has a lot of uneven areas i intend to apply a coat of resin and glass cloth all over the hull.

Do i apply filler (car type) before or after glassing.

Filler sand clean and glass.      Clean glass sand filler sand.

Which way round ???????

Regards

Mark
