Another day of work on the canopy fairing. I sanded again for an hour and things are looking really good. Some minor low spots so it needs one or two more sessions before I can put some primer on it and call it good. Here is a shot of it after the sanding session, then another pic with another coating of dyed epoxy with Microballoons. I probably don't need to be using black dye anymore, but it looks good and I think it makes it easier to see low spots. Also, with the microbaloons I don't need to use the peel ply which also makes it easier to see low spots since they stay shiney. Each coat I am completely recoating the entire surface, as it seems to work better. Finallly I was really nervous about getting close to the tape, but its stronger than you think and I peal off the yellow each time leaving on the PVC tape which is underneath the yellow (the PVC tape is extreamly tough).
