I am about to glass the exterior of my Peeler. Does one lay the transom glass and give it one coat and move on to the sides, or fill the weave on the transom before moving on? Fill the weave piecemeal or get the glass on the whole exterior with one coat and fill the weave on the whole boat at one time? Thanks

On my boats I like to fill the weave all at once after I’ve finished glassing everything. This works especially well when it’s a painted boat because then I can use fairing compound to do both and combine filling the weave and fairing into one step.

But either way will work.
