: The miter angle between the mating panels changes along length of the seam so
: it is too much effort to fit the panels together with a rolling bevel. And
: it is impossible to balance the two panels on a sharp corner when
: stitching. So, just radius the mating corners. The thickened epoxy fillet
: and cloth tape will fill the little mating grooves or voids formed.

thanks Dave that sounds very sensible, I'll give it a go
