    Godspeed U cat - Questiom on hull repair

    I just recently received my new Godspeed U Catamaran from R2Hobbies. (read the related thread entitled my experiences with R2Hobbies)
    Anyways I noticed that the join for the seams is not the greatest as you can see in the pictures. I see a lot of posts on strengthening hulls by adding more fiberglass inside but I can't find anything on repairing the seams from the outside before painting. I was considering bondo and primer prior to spray painting it. Anyone want to weigh in with tips and tricks or advice on whether or not that is the best way to go?Godspeed 001.jpgGodspeed 002.jpgGodspeed 005.jpg
    Son to me: It's never fast enough is it Dad?
    Me in reply: Now you understand RC son!!!

    I just did this with my SV-27, and what I used was some resin with some balloons mixed into it, sanded smooth and all gone. Not sure if it was the best way but it worked for me and made it a little stronger where I used it.
