would really bother buying a smooth scuttle, as it probably be a terrible fit.

Best thing to do is, smooth the existing standard scuttle, as your guarenteed a perfect fit.

aain correct, but i would use p40 as much as u can, so you only need a very tony amount of p38 just to fill out and small indentations

wouldnt use P40 or P38 at all - but thats cause Ive got a roll of low GSM matt - a gallon or so of resin and I'll make my own filler with balloon inhibitors

but p40/p38 is a good alternative - watch p40 tho - cause its almost impossible to sand - really needs grinding flat

i am smoothing mine by grinding the scuttle up so it is rough, plastering it in xpanding foam, smooth that off near enough with grinder or sander, then go over it with a few sheets of fibreglass then sand and filler, that way it will stay reasonably light, its not load bearing so it wont pop out, it will be hard as fook and a perfect job.
