One learning from installing the first few panels of headliner was that it doesn’t cover imperfections as much as I hoped. To make the next panel look smoother I’d have to make the actual fiberglass smoother – remove some of the bumps, etc. As much as I hate sanding fiberglass it still seemed like a worthwhile task so I cleared out the cabin – all the books, cushions, galley items, etc. – and went on with sending off the rough bits and patching anything that looked compromised in any way and had any remote risk of leaking.
Even with the shop vac, the dust was everywhere and cleanup took forever. But I think we’ll see smoother panel in the end.
