Default Body repair

Rebel1,
I have done other repairs in the door jam area with epoxy and cloth, then used Epiglass HT450 powder and epoxy resin to finish as a filler and fairing medium, Is that similar to Epifill?

This repair is the only external one, and there wont be any more done in epoxy! Regarding the random cut cloth, 1/16" or a bit more should be heaps to cover any woven cloth eh?

On my first Cobra I glassed using only Polyester in very cold conditions poor quality control, and ten years plus later its still looks good when I visited the current owner recently - how did that happen!!!.
This bloody car I am so fussy on conditions and body preparation but got blinded with the additional bonding capabilities of epoxy and tried to change to using epoxy only.

As mentioned in a previous post (my excessive ramblings) I can quite easily cut out the epoxy area taper out another couple of inches, and I am still only yikes halfway up the mudguard, one lives and learns if I left it alone all it needed initially was a very small repair.
