Literally, my arms and back are pretty sore form the hours spent yesterday. I used the Bondo fiberglass resin. Make sure the can shakes with fluid at the store. I had two cans in a row in which the resin was solidified. (3rd time was a charm.) I have some 400 grit ready to go after everything sets up tonight.

One very respected place says to use three coats of varnish. Another respected place says to use two to three coats of vinylester or polyester and then the varnish. Looking for some other opinions. As you can see in some of the pictures, the kevlar is showing in some spots. Thanks
