Thanks again guys!

Like I said, Chome-A -Lite didn’t register with the feller I dealt with and he sold me what I showed. The only time I’ve used the micro balloons was when I glued and riveted the strut attachments. Ribs and such I used the cotton flux with the Hysol. So  I really don’t know if I should use micro balloons the since the stuff I has kitty hair.  

We’ve feathered down the first repair. Other than the color not matching, it looks and feels good. But I’m like you Paul, I’m a little scared of it. Hell, the Bondo fiberglass resin shown here says it’s Polyester Polymer;Syrene Monomer;Silica. I probably should’ve just used it! It is what I’ve bought to wrap the tank. When the epoxy  is built up and dries it feels almost rubbery. You can press your fingernail in and it will leave a slight impression then retake it’s shape. Sanded down it feels hard, but flexible. Whadda you guys think? Should I take them back down or as the guy at the counter said, “Wrap it with the fiberglass and call it good”.

The Aspen are a turnin’ in Colorado, so we’ gonna ponder the next move and head out!
