I have used the high-temp Proline for a number of years, but as I reflect back, each time use was on a high-performance minimum diameter rocket that was painted with high-temp paint or on a black body like Profusion or CF so tiny imperfections were never really seen. I am just about finished with a modified RW G3 and as can be seen in the attachment, it has a red body. The fillets are decent, but certainly not perfect. I'd like to do some minor sanding, but have some trepidation as on previous builds I know if I screw up the fillet will turn silver-gray. My inclination is just to be extremely careful and use a Dremel with a grind stone, but my question is, what are my options here? Can you sand these fillets and then recover? For instance will they "shine up" after brushing with epoxy resin or applying a clear coat of some kind? Or are they instead gray forever and you'd have to paint them black to fix them? I would expect those that build fiberglass rockets more than I do, like CJ or Griffin, know the answer on this. I'd appreciate any help you may be able to give. Thx.
