Moderator drewpy Posted February 1, 2013 Moderator Share Posted February 1, 2013 depends how deep the reaction is and where! try compound first, and if that don't work, work your way through the rougher stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator DirtyDT Posted February 2, 2013 Moderator Share Posted February 2, 2013 That is a right, royal Pain in the a***. Glad you could salvage it. I got the dreaded crinkle on the last piece of the TS. I had to strip it right back. I must say that there is a distinct lack of pictures for this project John!!
