Before you put on more, get what you have on there following the tank curvature and profile perfectly. Get an aluminum rule that you can hold on there to find your high and low spots. Sand down your high spots and then fill the low spots (and only the low spots).
Appreciate the advice, Billy - I think you're right about that.

As I said - I'm still a novice at this so learning as I go.

On this project, outside of some glazing putty perhaps - I'm good with the Bondo.

I also have a nice set of sanding blocks made out of EVA Foam in various shapes that will help me get those curved parts dialed in. The kit came with sandpaper with a peel and stick adhesive backing so you can better secure the sandpaper to the block.

Gonna try and get some of this done tomorrow.

Cheers, mate!
