1965 Alcort Sunfish WAVE 24 Dec 20 Deck Fairing Round 2

 24 Dec 20:

Sanded the second coat of TotalFair fairing compound with 120 grit on a DeWALT random orbital sander. Smoothed out the TotalFair and also sanded away old, flaking one part paint in several areas, to get a good surface for primer to attach to. This photo shows the different layers of fiberglass, original blue gelcoat and 2 layers of Interlux Brightside Medium Blue. 

The last coat of Interlux had some ridges, so we sanded those smooth, prep for primer.

1953 Alcort Sunfish ZIP 11 May 20 TotalFair Fairing Compound

11 May 20:

Faired the screw holes and low spots on ZIP's letterbox repair with TotalBoat TotalFair 2 part epoxy fairing compound. The blue and yellow resin and hardener mix in equal parts to make green, and we use a plastic spreader to apply it.

We try to get the compound as smooth as possible but leave a little extra on top, to be smoothed with sanding.
