If you mix some wood flour and carbosil with your epoxy you can make a paste with a color close enough to match the plywood. fill in the gap carefully so as to not have a lot of sanding. when dry sand lightly to give it a radius - this will facilitate for easier covering with the fiberglass cloth. I've built a CLC Chesapeake 16 and a Patuxent 17.5. You can't see the seams except one 10" section where i worked the mix too much and enough air got into mix to lighten it up.
