I am prepairing to refinish the trash can lid and was wondering about the maximum thickness the System Three fairing can be applied. I have some areas that are about 3/32 deep that need to be filled. Use System Three or an epoxy resin? Thanks
Have a great Christmas!
 
Since no response here yet, you will get one at Classicmako.com - for sure.
 
If you do get a response there post it here, Im about to redo the lids to my fish boxes and was just going to sand, use some compound and re gel coat it.
 
Fairing compound is merely meant to smooth the surface, fill pin holes, etc. It is not meant to build thickness. I would lay a bit of 3/4 oz. mat w/ epoxy to get the area as flat as possible and then fair and gelcoat.
