Fairing before the storm

At present,  there is a low pressure about to slam into the Pacific NW so I am taking advantage of the decent weather and applying the first of three fairing coats.  Although System Three offers a product called Quick fair, the cost factor is orders of magnitude different that mixing up medium sized batches of resin and microbaloons.  System three boasts that Quickfair is superior because of it being formulated under vacuum therefore eliminating air in the mix.   At $150 bucks a gallon, to me, I have decided that it isn't worth the little extra effort of mixing up my own fairing compound.
