my bad.
It was too soft for any real effect. i was hoping to use my glazing putty to fill in the voids and then just paint to match. I couldn't get the glazing putty to work in the foam because the foam was too resilient. had too much bounce or something. the putty would set and then a little motion or twist would flake it right off. i used the foam as a base for the epoxy resin. which in itself turned into a workout.
fwiw i will try using coroplast under fiberglass filler then topped with glazing putty. next time.
i have some regular putty on it right now, after it sets a bit i will sand and glaze. then sand and paint.
Gotta get this done. K spends most of her time on the highway. So. Aero is the way to go.
she is coming over later and i would like to be able to plug these in.
I have some racing discs for her wheels, i must drill some retaining holes in them for the screws.then no one can steal them and they won't fly off on the highway. I bought the inexpensive ones. i couldn't force myself to pay an extra $75 for someone else to drill them.
Back to work.
