1966 Factory V8 Valiant Signet Restoration For My Other Daughter
Make a cheap dam around the edges out of tape. This one was too cheap and I had a lot of leaks.... You only have about 60 seconds to mix, pour and spread. Mix up the A/B product and only stir for 10-20 seconds. Next pour it in the cracks and the missing pieces then pour it all over the pad. I spread it with a filler spreader. The second it starts to kick and expand (i.e. bubbles start to form) you have just a few seconds to do any final finishing then get away from it and let it kick. It will be hard in about 30 minutes. Now be very very careful sanding it. The 50 grit on the rotary will take it down to the original foam in seconds. Only go down so you can see the old foam color through the new foam. Now get out your sanding blocks with 50 and start blocking it down. There will be a few voids here and there that I plan on just using glazing filler in them and sand them down later. Now flip it over and do the same thing on the under side of the front roll. I will do that tomorrow.
