just an FYI, the filler isn't of the regular variety type. The filler at DW is fiberglass based and will not crack. takes tons of abuse before it stresses out

You would be amazed if you seen how many big dollar manufactures use regular bondo on the sides to square them up.. But I would guess Doug uses Dura-glass, but maybe not.

Looks like "rage" filler with the added fibers. Strong stuff.

ground into a new DW this week, was epoxy fairing

I dont know how you guys expect to get a better than smooth finish without SOME fairing ??
