28 Bertram Restoration Boat 2

Spray fair is something I discovered on my last boat. It is a 2 part epoxy fairing compound that is thin enough to spray thru a 2.2 tip. It fills well and is easy to sand. I use it to get a smooth surface and fill small holes. once i sand it it is easy to see the low spots that need a more aggressive fairing with a conventional compound. I have even thickened it with silica or glass bubbles and put it on with a spreader. it is made by Alexseal. I recently purchased a Hutchins 17" orbital file sander. This thing works great for getting a flat and smooth surface but it is an air hog. I had to add a second compressor to use it continuously but it was well worth the money

Follow up questions on spray fair...

Mil thickness?

If you had to choose between a neat coat on slightly sanded through glass and spray fair which would it be.

Glass on foam core that is...

Maybe a real dumb question - Did you spray the spray fair or roll it?

from the pictures it looks like you rolled it on........................
