A guide on techniques for fairing surfaces with epoxy and finish coatings for best results during construction. The guide concentrates on to main areas, Final Fairing and Finishing:
- Final Fairing: The first part of this manual describes final fairing techniques as they apply to boatbuilding and boat repair. These techniques are also useful for many non-marine applications such as auto body repair or building forms and models. Also included are methods for applying fairing compound that can reduce trial and error, and help make the fairing process easier and faster.
- Finishing: The second part of this manual discusses epoxy as a barrier coating and the wide variety of finish coating options available for ultraviolet protection and long term durability. Cost, compatibility, durability, ease of application and health hazards are variables to consider in the selection of a finish option for your project.
