In Response To: clear fillets? (daren neufeld)

: while glassing the deck of my spring run this weekend i got to thinking about
: fillets. if glass cloth wets out clear would chopped glass as a filler not
: wet out clear as well? i would rather not have a big yellow fillet between
: the cockpit reccess and riser.

I put roughly 3" fillets inside my bow and stern for strength using 1/4" chopped glass I bought and it turned out pure white. It beats the heck out of me why some glass wets out and some doesn't.
