The Cockpit Deck is as smooth as a Baby's bottom now. It was a few hours of battle, time lost due to using old resins. After going over the entire deck with a HID light I couldn't find a single pinhole in the fairing.

Now more fun, Masking everything up. Since replacing the carpet under the two consoles is planned I will just shoot the 2K Primer - Surfacer - Sealer down without worrying about that carpet. I guess it will serve as a kinda mask as I will rip it out carefully afterwards and use each piece for a pattern to cut the replacement. You just have to keep in mind which direction the grain of the carpet is running when cutting replacement pieces.

I hit my usual 4pm Wall so I just stopped right here and will pick up the masking task early in the morning. All the work is in the prep. It won't take an hour to do all the spraying even allowing adequate flash time between coats in the cool air.
