Aft...

Bob H.

Bob, Gotta try peel n ply when your glassing your deck, lay up as normal and lay the peel n ply into the wet resin/mat, take a glass roller and work it till its smooth and no air bubbles, go back next day, peel it off and it leaves a great texture much like a fabric pattern, need very little fairing...
