Barry,

I bonded foam to the leading edges with micro and sculpted with those
perma-grit tools. When I got the gap to about .07 I applied a two-bid
layer of light glass over to protect it. From there you can finish with
a thin application of micro. I'm currently in the primer stage and
discovering how great metal glaze is. The primer goes on thick and will
fix a lot of small imperfections, pin holes and low spots, so don't
worry about getting it too perfect. The primer I am using is DuPont
URO-Prime and I love it! Metal glaze is the best thing I have found for
a filler. (For minor filling).

I have some pictures on my site that may help you with the foam and
glass technique. It seems hard, but really, it saves a lot of time in
the long run because you get the shape right the first time and quite
easily.

I hope this helps,
Don Barnes
