It looks good. Your hard work sure pays off.

A tip for future projects where you want to create a lightweight, easily sandable
/shapeable epoxy contour. Go on Amazon and buy a small bottle of micro balloons. They’re microscopic glass spheres that are mixed with epoxy to make a strong but lightweight , gap filling and easy to contour mixture. It’s used to create lightweight contours and fillets etc., Think of the smooth aerodynamic contours where the wing meets the fuselage. It cuts the weight of epoxy drastically. I would think you could use small amount with epoxy putty as well. It’s so light that a pint bottle feels empty.

You know what? The next time I plan to do something, I'm going to talk to you, first. That would have been good to know. I will check that out, thanks!

I’m always a day late, but not always a dollar short lol. You got it done, that’s the hard part.

WOW! I just checked that stuff out. I will definately be using that at some point. I'm surprised I've never heard of that stuff before. You are a wealth of information Bill!

Another tip, if you have small gaps that need to be filled, including nicks in carbon, pour micro balloons into the hole or gap and drip CA glue into it. It’ll give you an easy to sand finish. You mix micro balloons into epoxy, but you pour/drop Ca glue onto micro balloons.

I was reading about using CA and baking powder today and almost did it. I just got a dozen little CA tubes today too. It's crazy to get a big bottle when it always goes bad. I'm just buying one use tubes now. I didn't know if the CA was compatible on top of JBWeld, so I didn't do it.

just do not breath the micro balloons
