I was able to throw in a new can of Encapsulator to meet the minimum for a coupon, so it worked out perfectly. This new filler is lighter and sands much easier, making bodywork much more pleasant. I was able to get the high spots knocked down quickly and then spent time finding the problem areas, marking them out with a Sharpie and readying them for the next skim. I actually covered more areas now that I know how easy it is to work with, and I&#8217;m looking forward to getting this piece cleaned up.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4321\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.billdugan.com\/scout\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/seat_progress.jpeg?resize=600%2C654\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"654\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.billdugan.com\/scout\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/seat_progress.jpeg?w=600&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.billdugan.com\/scout\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/seat_progress.jpeg?resize=275%2C300&amp;ssl=1 275w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I got a call from my friend Jeff on Sunday morning, to ask me a question about my seats, <em>which he&#8217;s starting today!<\/em>\u00a0He figures it should be a week or so to get them done, which means I need to get cracking on ordering foam and materials.
