I put a second coat of resin one both halves of the cowl and they look pretty good as is. This stuff lays up pretty thick so I really don't need anymore.
Once the resin is spread out, I use a torch to clear the air bubbles out. The resin must not produce any flammable fumes cuz you can get in pretty close with the torch without any problems. The surface lays down flat and no bubbles.

Very clever Jack. I would never have dreamed of taking a torch to it. We never stop learning. Thanks for all your posts on a great project.

You can also just blow on it but with a larger part like this you risk hyperventilating, passing out, and waking up with the part bonded to your face.
Everything in me screams "Chemicals and open flames don't mix!" But it doesn't seem to be hazardous. I think it is the CO2 that does it.

Risk and uncertainty are always present. Risk can be managed, reduced, or eliminated. Uncertainty doesn't worry me.. Most likely everything I try has been done before by someone. Just find out if he's in the magazines or the obituaries.
