I have a 2 piece bonnet (inner panel and outer skin) so I am considering sandwiching it between the two before I bond the top skin on. This way the lip will be hidden and it would be impossible for the scoop to ever come off.
The guy next door has a mate called Chook who has been giving me some advice as I glass away. He recommends the use of Q cells which are the tiny ultralight glass beads. Instead of bog he suggests I use these mixed with the resin to form a paste and use it where bog is required.
My door skins are held on with Wurth KD Bond and Seal, stuck like sh*t to a blanket. Where the gaps are I will be using the Q cells to fill and sand smooth. This sounds like a good option to me as it reduces the amount of dis-similar materials used.
Now I will stand in line with Boxy and wait to be shot down.
