Hello,

I am building a Guillemot Expedition Single with a recessed cockpit and have the vertical part of the combing in place.

I glassed the top last week and since this is my first attempt I don't think it went too bad. However, there are a few places around the cockpit where I could not get the cloth to sit 100% flat due to the vertical part of the combing.

Question(s):

1) Should I just sand down these parts and repair with small bits of fiberglass and epoxy ? I assume I would have to blend these in when they where dry.
2) Should I sand these down and then place a whole new layer of glass on ? Could someone then give me some hints to solve the problem with the tight curves around the combing ?

I did think I could sand down then place a new layer of cloth with a whole cut in it to go over the vertical combing part. My only worry anout this is that when I come to squeegy off the resin, I have found that I end up pulling loose strands of glass from the weave and this ends up making a clump on the surface. Anyone with any ideas as to how to advoid this ?

Thanks for the help
Ian
