Fairing compound suggestions
The last boat I faired was with 3m glass bubbles, I have a nice jig with a polyester resin laminate and I am shopping for fairing products, !

The fairing compound depends largely on what finish you are planning on using.

I have looked into using the alexseal products, and was hoping to find reports here on options after the mold has been made I will spray it with an LP paint
