I am in the process of building a Guillemot 17 from the book. Some of the twists near the stern left spaces between the strips. I was wondering if filler made by minwax would work under the epoxy? Also my deck has separated from the forms so when viewed fromthe bottom, the deck, at one point is wider than the hull. The wood is still raw and I am afraid of wetting the wood to strap it back into shape. Any suggestions?
