that was after the first coat ,
the sealers seemed to have lifted on the edge in a few verry small areas , were putting this down to the sealer been too thin at that point and maybe too much pressure from the gun ,
decided to leave the lot dry overnight , see how it is in the morning and drop the pressure a touch and apply the 2nd coat ,
havent done the front arches yet as theres a few minor jobs to finish,
thiw we may poss primer n paint the floor in two sections , the full rear and tunnel and the front legs and inner wings and new wings
hope you like
beef & k !!!
