Fairing

Fairing is done to make the surfaces of the boat as smooth as possible.  This can be done a few different ways, but Chris likes using this Total Fair Fairing Compound:

He uses a flat drywall-style knife to smooth on the fairing compound, filling in any low spots.  Then he waits for it to dry, sands everything, and fairs some more. Fairing, sanding, fairing, sanding... you get the idea. Months worth of fairing and sanding. You can see where he has been fairing in these pictures because it is green: 




Chris took his time fairing and did a really great job getting the whole boat smooth. It should look great with paint on.
