A while back an article surfaced about using West System 105 resin / 206 hardener as a weave and pin hole filler on a cured fiberglass lay up. There were some areas on my cowl which were pretty badly pitted with pin holes and weave. Yesterday morning, I applied a very thin film of the West System on my cowl. Be sure to squeegee off all excess epoxy. The remaining epoxy flowed into every pin hole and weave impression. Twelve hours later the epoxy had cured completely and left an incredibly smooth surface. All I have to do is sand the surface to give the primer some tooth to grip to. This was the easiest pin hole filling that I have ever done and I have tried many types of filler over the last six years.
