  Step 9:  
  Using a coarse sand paper sand down where the popsicle sticks are rising above the curved surface of the installation kit. This will leave a nice curved surface and closely matching the original front surface.

  Step 10:  
  Fiber glass the whole front of the kit but try not to put it on too thick or you will spend an hour trying to sand it down to where we need it. I applied it on the whole front to give the same texture and level to the surface. Let the fiberglass compound harden over night.
