Hi David,

You need to have a word with Neville Eyre - there isn't a soul on the planet who
knows more about "rubbing down" Europa's.

Nev can be contacted be email on this forum.

They needed filling (I used Ampreg21/Expancel as per Europa manual) & then will
need painting. But I am now finding it a heck of a job to sand the filler.
After 2 days of it, I have had enough. The sandpaper constantly clogs, and it
is bl**** hard work - And my Classic wings are much bigger than the tail!

resin many people use for the surface filling job, which sands without problems,
presumably with the supplied Expancel.
