Now time to start shaping this canopy fairing.
Just a few of my tools to get this surface ready for primer.
After rough shaping I marked any obvious low spots that will need more filler.
You can see that the filler is doing its job flattening the waves.
The key takeaway here is to always use a sanding block or tool when doing this to prevent extra work. You don't want to sand all the high spots down so much that you eliminate your low spots. This will thin the glass to a point where it will be weak. Once you start sanding into the weave, stop and add more filler in the lows.
Scott's video on the Van's Youtube channel mentions this as well. Sand to a shape not to a finish.
