: Hi Malcolm,
: The problem is that it does not conform well to compound contours
: unless vacuum bagged I see it used most often in vacuum bagging.
: Also to leave a smooth inside seam. May be handy to have a
: little around for small patches or flat projects. If you tried
: to get it to lay down on your boards you would end up with some
: resin rich areas at the edges where it doesn't lay down and that
: would be more work than fill coating and sanding. One of the big
: advantages of it is that it leaves a finely textured surface
: that you can bond to without sanding or with a little sanding
: you have a uniform surface for finishing. So I guess the short
: answer is, it depends. Another downside is that it gets used
: once and thrown away.
: Best,
: Reg

The last reason is why I don't play with it, $10 a yard for one use and toss in the garbage....yikes!
