: Thanks for my better understanding of calibal sp. and I won't be using that
: for a fillet now for this problem. I will seal the haul with epoxy first
: before I do anything. I can't use the idea of a radius made with wood
: flower because the looks of the red haul against the white ash would kind
: of be smudged looking. The glass strands layed along the corner problem is
: a possibility. My thought now is to do something like you do Don with the
: wrap. I know from fiberglassing many years ago that tucking glass into a
: corner as the epoxy is getting tacky can work but sometimes the glass is
: streatched too tight, and when you try to poke it into corners it wants to
: come back out and leaves a void. I might epoxy just along the ash problem
: area'a and when that gets tacky, then drape the glass over the haul, tuck
: in the glass at the tacky areas and roll on the complete glass wetout.
: Thanks everyone for helping me thing about this.

I just wanted to add that the reason I am not fairing this ash keel strip into the cedar haul is because I think it will make this short fat boat track better in the water. If you mash your finger against a flat table, what is sticking up is somewhat like by ash bead strip.
