I note that for preparation of the glazing rebates, page 35-5 of the build manual says: Scuff sand the rebated areas of the doors and front screen In general, for bonding anything to areas of prepreg that have gel-coat, I have ground (sanded or power-filed) off the gel-coat so that the bond will be to the underlying composite rather than the gel-coat. Thats based on advice I had from Neville who also said that all abrading prior to making bonds or layups should be quite aggressive. The above advice to scuff-sand seems in comparison a bit wimpish and suggests that the gel-coat need not be removed, only roughened. Does anyone have any thoughts about this? Will I cause a problem if I sand off the gel-coat on the rebates? in friendship Rowland | Rowland Carson ... that's Rowland with a 'w' ... | http://www.rowlandcarson.org.uk | Skype, Twitter: rowland_carson Facebook: Rowland Carson ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message europa-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Europa-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/europa-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/europa-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
