Just got myself a new Senton and before i do much bashing I decided to reinforce the body up. How I wish i never even bothered now.
So i picked up some Shoe Goo 2 and dry wall tape. Watched a load of vids and thought it would not be too much of an issue. I have built boats with fibreglass before so pretty straight forward.
Then i get going. I wash the body down with some rubbing alcohol and let it dry off for the afternoon.
I then make a start and straight away im having issues. No matter what i do the tape is lifting. I apply some goo and it keeps lifting. So i carry on and im pressing one bit down, going back to the next, pressing that down, then back to the next. Just awful!
After 2hrs i gave up. I barely had part of the windscreen and bonnet done!
Had some food and decided to have another crack. Seemed the goo took better after being left a while and got easier. But still getting lifting. I battled on till 1am and got half the body done and called it a night…until…
…how the holy hell do you get shoo goo off your finger!! (Should of worn gloves). 90 mins later, white spirit, meths, lighter fluid and swafteger and still have sticky finger.
At this rate i would rather buy a new body when its trashed.
What am i doing wrong?
