I used the term filler to describe a mixture of epoxy, chopped glass, cotton flox, micro ballons- mixed in varing concentrations to make the solution fill in gaps between where the faring is warped due to poor molding or removal from mold prior to full cure. You vary the cancentrations of each component to make it strong and as light as possible. However, because the farings are built so poorly, they still come out leaving you with a desire for something more.
 
The included photos and the prior email I wrote decribe the materials used to make your own. The thin aluminum flashing is used as a parting line off the back of all intersection farings. you insert it between the gear leg faring trailing edge.
 
The top faring is made from scratch. The bottom was Van's stock. The bottom required so much work and they got so thick and heavy that I did them from scratch on the top.
 
The top ones in these photos are only being held in place by their fit, no screws, tape or adheasive. They are light, thin, and strong and fit perfectly because they were made on the plane.
 
The photos may be uploaded out of order.
