Re: German MDA

Hello,

I started grinding the seams yesterday. Things went really fast with the “Rotex” grinder and 60/80 grit papers. Found some Air pockets and removed most of the high spots – the front and rear body clips came out very smooth. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beerchug.gif[/img]
The only thing I was astonished was the gel coat in the seams of the front clip. You can see a big stripe of gel coat in the seam and the gel coat also extends between the layers of glass about 2 inches into one of the panels. Some gel coat in the seams is not uncommon but I have never seen it extending under the glass. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif[/img]
Has anybody had the same problem before? Any ideas are highly appreciated.

Reinhard
