More Sanding

We're almost finished with initial sanding of the shiny black gel coat on the body. We have to sand all of it so that the fillers will stick to it.


The first filler we're using is called Rage Gold. You mix some of it with a hardener, then work quickly to spread it before it starts to harden. Between the 100 degree temperatures and trying to get the mix ratio right, we ended up putting a little more of the Rage on than we really needed.

We're getting the hang of mixing and applying it now, but we still have a few areas that will need a significant amount of sanding to get rid of the extra Rage.

We use large sanding blocks to make sure we don't create low spots. In fact, the whole point of Rage is to build up the low spots that came on the car. We're pleased with the results so far.
