The interior was covered with carpet from top to bottom prior to ....see signature....
Thanks goes to everyone who has helped get me this far.
Ok. So I have come up with a great mixture of polyester resin and q-cells. The inside of the hull has been built up and ready for fairing/sanding.
So far, I have been using a mixing stick about a foot long, one inch wide, and 1/8th of an inch thick, wraped with sandpaper. This seems to be flexible (so far) enough while sanding horzontally. I apply enough pressure at the center of the makeshift block to make contact with the surface.
Now I'm having trouble keeping the vertical curvatures of the hull. How can maintain these? There seems to be more flexing of the block needed when sanding vertically. I don't think apply too much pressure will give me great results.
If there is a better approach to this task please enlighten me. The work on this thread is great. Unfortunately there is no mention on tools and techniques used.
Thank you for reading this thread.
