We mix resin with cabisil and sqeegie it on to fill pin holes then sand it all down then primer or sometimes skip primer,this time we primed,but we use the color to help see and acts like a primer,Bill

I am looking forward to Bill and I getting together on a lake soon. You know what would be fun is to have a mini boat met. Like Bills Dalcraft, and an Aqua Loop, CirCrafts, Wasps, Mighty Mights, motorized surf boards, Filvers, ten foot GW invaders, I am running out of names! But you know what I mean!

Cool project, I love the Evinrude Lark. That's probably one of my favorite motors.

With that beautiful Lark on this out-standing saucer and those big wings she is sure to fly.

Call the trailer SL-1 (Saucer Launcher 1) LOL
