Hi David,

I don't have any real good pictures but I will try to explain as best as I can. In the picture is the stern of my Shooting Star. See how sharp and narrow it is. Now when my hull was built and turned over but before I built the deck on top, I took the rib forms out of the tail and bow and stuffed the sharp narrow ends with short fiberglass strans mixed epoxy using my fingers to get it in and make a nice radius. Then I have a nice big radius to fiberglass my cloth to. You can see how it would almost be impossible to get your glass cloth clear back into the ends. And end pores are hard to do for me. I think I have tremendous strength now in the ends, especially the fradgal tail. I probably run my stuffing radius out the the 5th diamond from the back of the tail. If I don't explain this well enough just ask again.

John
