Andy prepares a cabin top for final fairing after applying a layer of chop strand mat and a top coat of waxed gel coat.0:18 The gel coat serves to cure the underlying fiberglass and fill minor surface imperfections, though some low spots remain.0:23 To prepare the surface for fairing, he uses a Scotch-Brite pad to dull the high-gloss finish and etch the dimples.1:21 For the fairing process, he mixes West System epoxy with 410 filler to a ketchup-like consistency, which allows the compound to flow into low spots and self-level, reducing the need for extensive sanding.2:13 He avoids power sanders for this stage, opting for hand-sanding to maintain control over the contours.3:59 Around the hatch openings, he applies Total Boat Total Fair using a tongue depressor to establish a consistent 1/8-inch radius along the perimeter.4:24
