hi kent, i filled the gaps in the hull and let the dookie schmutz harden.

i found that it soaked into the surrounding wood and left it darker than the rest whichis now glassed. it was hard to fair the hardened epoxy.

for the deck i mixed up the filler and filled the gaps , wiping offany excess lumpsand bringing the filler to the contour of the surrounding area.

i then glassed immediatly after fairing the filler with the squegee, worked better than the first method
