Hi all,

While waiting for my QB I am working on the fairings of the emp. For the ones I wish to have the filled in look I have a couple questions.

I have seen a few posts regarding this for other rv models that the builders have used glass to cover the seam. Do you need to glass it or is just using filler (superfil) ok? The gap is small and the unevenness is minimal so it appears to me that filler would work as far as smoothing it out. Is the glass mentioned on the other models because their fairings were not as good as the 10's or is this something that is needed to prevent the filler from flexing and cracking?

As far as the superfil goes... Do I have to use polyfiber's UV smooth prime over it or can I use another filler primer as long as it is chemically compatible? The dry time of 3 weeks and then a coat of urethane seems like quite a process for the UV smooth prime.

Thanks,

Bill Cannon
