You can see the jogle I made on the back sidde of the pant with epoxy
filler and used seperator. Layed it all up, then cut the pannel around
the leg and removed the parts and finished them. Never tried this but it
worked quite well

Craig- What kind of resin are you using- polyester or epoxy? I am using polyester, and it resembles maple syrup- not clear like your photos.

Craig- I never worked with epoxy resin, just polyester. I know you get a lot more working time with it, and it's supposed to be quite a bit more expensive. How does it grind or sand? How bad is the dust? Fumes? How about working out air bubbles?
Keep the photos and tips coming, you do great work. Your work looks more like art than mechanics or science.

Thanks for the kind words…Composite is fun to work with and with a little preparation anything is possible. With epoxy you can get options with working time. The resin I used on the wheel pants goes to a B stage in about 10 min. there is a long working time epoxy that gives twice that time and this is also dependant on temp. the higher the temp the shorter the time. there are no fumes like polyester. My neighbors never know I am working with resin, even my wife can’t smell it and I’m in the garage. The wetting properties are similar to polyester, there is an additive that you can put in it and polyester that helps. It sands great and best of all it keeps its shape unlike polyester

Craig- I'll have to try the epoxy on my next project. My wife can't stand the fumes, and gags or chokes up on them. This can lead to domestic trouble. The thicker you lay up polyester, the worse the fumes. They drove me out of the garage when I put the floor in the canoe.
Thanks again.
