Bulkhead

What's the best way to spread the resin on the bulkhead to have the nice smooth finish? And also whats the best way to get the resin to stick to the bulkhead without fibergalss matting? Thanks

I'll give ya a call. Thanks

Todd, it was great talking with you and greatfully helping me out and talking with me on the phone. Here are some pics of the progress with it so far in the project. The only question is that i put the fiberglass matting on the back side of the bulkhead and not on the front. Is that going to be strong enough? I sealed it with resin on the front.

Can i scuff it up and still lay glass down on the front and lay another coat of resin on it? Would that be good?

Thanks Jimmy, but all the credit has to go to Toddnjuzz for helping me out with this. Thats why it looking so good. Yes it will be ready for the 1st race. This is the second attempt of doing this, The first attempt was a learning curve of a bulkhead.

Well here are pics of it glassed in. Finished it early this morning.








It doesn't look pretty, but its was my first one. Kuddo's to the guy's that do this for a living, because this was a B*tch.
