Just
a
note
‐
there
is
a
lot
of
sanding
to
do
to
get
the
cowl
to
the
right
shape.
To
make
it
easier,
I
made
a
template
out
of
a
piece
of
meat
packing
foam
so
that
I
knew
when
I
had
reached
the
right
shape.
Cowl
has
been
glassed
with
0.75oz
glass
cloth
and
Z
‐
Poxy
finishing
resin.
Just
for
curiosity
sake,
I
want
to
see
how
much
weight
some
cloth,
resin,
primer
and
paint
add.
Before
glassing,
the
cowl
weighed
61g
(2.15oz)
All
glassed,
and
weighing
in
at
64g
(2.26oz).
The
next
steps
will
go
something
like
this:
prime,
sand,
prime,
sand,
prime,
sand,
paint.
The
photo
exagerates
the
appearance
of
the
removable
wedge.
I
ʹ
m
actually
very
happy
with
the
way
it
is
turning
out.
Once
the
cowl
is
painted,
I
think
the
part
line
will
be
very
hard
to
see,
especially
as
the
cowl
will
be
black.
Just
a
couple
of
shots
of
the
cowl
and
primer.
Picture
#1
shows
the
cowl
with
1
coat
of
primer
applied.
I
use
Motomaster
brand
ʺ
Primer
&
Scratch
Filler
ʺ
,
available
at
Canadian
Tire.
(If
you
aren
ʹ
t
Canadian,
Canadian
Tire
is
like
a
Men
ʹ
s
dream
department
store
with
loads
of
cool
guy
stuff,
and
enough
boring
stuff
to
keep
the
women
happy,
too.
And
yes,
they
sell
tires).

shows
the
cowl
after
sanding.
Not
much
primer
left,
but
that
ʹ
s
the
idea!
You
need
to
sand
off
as
much
as
possible,
so
that
the
primer
only
stays
in
the
low
spots.
Not
doing
that
will
only
increase
weight
and
detract
from
the
evenness
of
the
final
paint
finish.
The
primer
really
should
be
wet
sanded.
So
that
means
being
careful
not
to
flood
the
cowl
with
too
much
water.
I
put
some
thin
CA
on
exposed
wood,
so
hopefully
it
wouldn
ʹ
t
soak
up
water.
Seems
to
be
working
OK.
