: Bert, the little bulkhead fillets and endpours arent' structural so it
: really doesn't matter. Anyway microballoons make the endpours lighter but
: it's a small difference compared to not using too much epoxy to begin
: with. If you aren't painting the inside and the fillet goop color looks
: very different you can use woodflour.
Yes the bulkhead fillets and endpours are not intregal to the structure but I didn't want to introduce a filler that was weaker than microballoons.Just trying to avoid any major boo boos by plowing ahead too fast.Seems first time boat building is half work and half thinking things through.
Thanks
