I'm currently in the planning stages of all my aeromods and was thinking of the best way to seal a boat tail made out of sheet metal. To understand what I'm talking about look at the blue areas of my attached picture. I came up with the idea of using fiberglass cloth and epoxy resin when I saw some other aero mods. The only problem is, I have no idea how to do it. I looked it up on google, and I have a pretty good idea how to do it now. But, I wanna make sure my process if right so I'm asking you guys for help.

My process:
1. cut strips of fiber glass cloth
2. dip into epoxy resin
3. Lay strips onto sheet metal. Similar to paper mache.
4. Add layers until adequate. Drying time in between layers?
5. Sand down until even.
6. then everything is ready to prime and paint? or do I need bondo ontop?


I could also weld all the seams, but that seems like it would take a long time and involve a lot of grinding to get a smooth finish. What do you guys suggest?

Thanks,
Jim
