To set this question up let me see if I can describe two situations:
First take 2 pieces of 4mm plywood, place them on a flat table and pick up the ends so that the pieces are 45 degrees off of the table. The pieces meet in a V in the middle and the angle between them is 90 degrees.
In this situation you can fillet the inside 90 degree angle with epoxy. There will also be a small triangle on the outside that you can fillet as well.
You could also bevel the inside of both panels first so that they meet in the same way as before but the outside will be a "knife" edge and there will not be place for the outside fillet.
It seems to me that not beveling is better since you can fillet the outside for more strength and even if you did have a "knife" edge you could not make the fiberglass wrap around it anyway.
I am curious what others have done.
