Chapter 25 - West Systems

I used the 407 filler inside the baggage area.   The 410 is limited to fairing only whereas the 407 can be used for bonding and laminating also.   Didn't seem like it was to hard to sand.

We've got a West Marine store 45 miles away.  Buying the larger containers saved quite a bit.
The folks at the counter said "That looks like a lot of work."
