I am using this brand of resin and have faired one side of the hull today. Will move her over in a bit and do the other side tomorrow. Then will center her in the shed tomorrow afternoon after fairing and let her sit to gas off till Wednesday. Wensday I will prime paint the sheer to the waterline. Will do 2 coats primer. Then one coat finish coat. So most likely by Sunday I can paint on the bottom paint. Next week will pull Toadfish out of the shed, build a simple rolling cradle setup and then a local friend will come by with his crane truck and roll her upright so she should be in the shed ready to start the deck and cabin work by end of next week.
This brand of filler is the best I have ever used. Local resign guy recommended it. Virtually no pin holes after fairing, super nice to spread out, very easy to sand but very hard surface and smooth using 40 grit paper with my flat disc contraption. Took 6-1/2 hours fairing time including long boarding chines etc and entire stern keel. Tomorrow only just the other side to do.but multi chines are very easy to deal with.

Looking good! I’m really looking forward to seeing the cradle. I’m also glad to hear about your thoughts on the fairing powder. When I ordered q cells , the bag that showed up looks exactly like yours. it’s what am using for fairing. 
Love it.. “Avoid making dust” 
.. That’s exactly what we plan to use it for..
I used 1 gal of resin and one 5 gal buckets worth of powder mixed up and spread about. I swept up 1/2 5 gal buckets of dust off the shop floor. Rest of dust is still about the place.
