Fillets In

Sorry been delinquent about posting to this blog....but spring is almost here so getting more seriously about working on boat again.

Learning how to do fillets well requires patience.  I suggest starting with the stern compartment which will eventually be sealed up so no one will see your 'practice' fillets.  Also suggest experimenting with the right % of Cab-O-Sil to add to epoxy mixture as it allows for smoother fillets.  I used the blue tape to help with clean up.  Pull the tape up at a 45 degree angle about 2 hours after you apply the fillets.  Some of my fillets were really rough so I sanded them well and put another thin fillet layer over them.
Sand the crap out of these fillets.  You need them smooth so that the fiberglass will lay well on them.
