I cut off my nose, now what?



OK, I cut off the nose on my JP and layed it up with carbon and epoxy. I'm
about to grind it down one more time and put one more layer of Carbon. If
it doesn't get windy first. The Microbaloons make the epoxy a nice red-wine
color, and the carbon cloth is black. I should probably treat that with
some outer coating - Paint??? I don't think I'll have much luck matching
the pattern on the board - I'm terrible drawing barbed wire - but white
would be nice. Anybody have knowledge on this?
