Sanding smooth

Since the last few updates not much has changed that is worth updating but it's been a while so a progress update is due. The hours of sanding have now left me with an almost perfect roof and soon it will be done I'm sure.

One of the biggest issues was the filler was not thin enough and was dragging so I thinned it down with GRP resin which makes it much more workable. This helped a lot

I had a couple of issues when I mixed too much filler and then applied it in an area which was dented, unfortunately it was too much and produced too much heat, this caused the roof to sag, once dry I had to press the roof out which meant the filler had to be broken out and replaced.

More filler being added 
This will continue for a while but once ready I will get an update going.
