a lot of hard, time consuming work........ using "Fairing Sticks" which are various size sanding boards ranging from 2' to 8' long. Once the filler is perfectly flat the the whole process is repeated on the pattern resin, from 40 grit to 60 to 80 to 120 to 240, then onto the wet sanding 400 then 1200 then polishing compound.....

not yet.
heres how we have done the flange/ fender rail.....
the red bit is the moulding we had taken from the hull plug......
the blue bit is 3/4 ply attatched to the inside of the fender rail......
the grey bit is 1/4 ply to allow for laminate thickness on the deck....
