I've made one lower intersection fairing and I am 1/2 way through the second. Working in a cold (well AZ cold) hangar I haven't been able to get the modeling clay really smooth. I think this will create more thickness than needed when the fairing fiberglass will be finally finished.
For the upper intersection fairings I think I would like to use the expanding foam method, but I'm not sure of the exact product to use that can be sanded smooth. I've used Dow "Great Stuff" on home projects but I'm not sure how well it can be sanded/formed.
Has anyone used this foam approach and can they describe what tools they used for forming the smooth curved surfaces required?
