I got everything ready for the procedure :wai:

I "gooped on" a good coatin' of the resin

Layed down a "sheet" of the 1708 FG cloth

Then, added a bit more resin, ta saturate the cloth from the top side

Layed down the second layer

Then, saturated that piece too

That entire procedure took about 30 minutes :thumbsup:

Whilst that wasa curin' I did some roundin' & smoothin on the monocoque
....& did some extra "roughin' up" of the areas, that I'm gonna be bondin' more pieces onto
SAM_8471 (1).JPGCured/rough FG is really hard on sandpaper
...& hands

So, make sure ta wear thick leather HD gloves (them white ones are ~$5.00 @ HF)

A couple of hours later
...& the FG panel looks like this

I gave 'er a little liftin' action on the corner & she started releasin' :wai:

Easily "popped" the whole panel right off
...& now, we have a FG panel :2guns:

The PVA (barrier layer) just peels off
...kinda reminds me of Cellophane (plastic)
...& then, gets disposed of ;)
