Probably seems fast, but when your fingers are sticky, your skin itches and you're sanding foam and mixing resin, it SEEMS slow. Of course, if I were to consider the alternative, like building a compound curve like that out of aluminum....Yep....fast. I found that using a hot glue gun to adhere the foam in place helped to move things along, as opposed to using slow curing epoxy to stick the foam to the cowling. You can start sanding the foam 10 minutes after sticking it onto the cowling, then cut your fiberglass to size, mix the resin and brush it on. I don't hate fiberglass as much as Rusty does.
