This is where the project drags out...finishing. Sand, fill, sand, fill, and just when you think, now I can move on, more pinholes, or a bug gets in it, etc... Hang in there!

This always annoys me. BUT. It is a raceboat.

At 80+ down the front straight nobody is going to see a few pinholes lol

You can use dry wall compound and fill the holes and when dry light sand it and repaint a light coat on it.This way you can fill all the pin holes that you see.By the way that is a great looking build.

HOLD ON MARIO......I put 3 coats of clear on to cover the remaining wood grain and fish eyes caused by silicone presence durring epoxy job?After the clear cures I will sand down the sides and top for 2nd application.Wood requires the 2nd application to look like glass. This requires alot of sanding and masking.Most people are done after this step BUT if you want your wood like glass you have to sand it and do it again.No bugs or dust in here helps too.Im just getting started Mario be patient good things come to those who wait!
