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

Hi Hanaldo

Thanks for your reply.

The reason for the question is that the hull is like a mini plowed field, the planks are all over the place, the glassing is to stabilise the planks and stop them moving in the future, will fill and sand before glassing so only light sanding before the paint job.

Thanks for your help

Regards

     Ah I see, in that case definitely filler first, will help reduce any voids in your glass layer....

     I definitely agree with filling first to give a more even and stable layer of glass.
