It is not uncommon to have 1/4 inch. My Classic with the XS FWF had the
same problem and I added three layers of glass on the inside and flox to
fill level and one layer on the outside peel plied and let cure. Fill
and sand. I use poster board with release tape on it to make a form on
the outside, after laying the glass and use small clamps to hold the
paper exactly where I want it. Sand and block to make the line
straight. Remember, the two lines looked at most are around the canopy
and the cowl.

thanks Bud, I think I get the drift of most of it, one thing worries
me now though is that you mention a spinner to cowl gap of 1/8th I just
don't have enough cowl to do that, I am going to end up with around
1/2". The top is resting on the shaft of the 912S prop plate butted up
to the back of the prop bolts and I only have 1/8th of the cowl on the
port side to cut off. Is a 3/8th gap going to matter?
Regards Graeme
