: I was not happy with the neatness of the previous fillets I created to help
: the glass conform to the transition from the deck to the vertical part of
: the coaming, so I tried making one from wood.
: It was easy, quicker and neater.
: I made a 45 degree cut along a short leftover strip to create a thin strip
: about 5mm x 5mm.
: Because it was so thin it easily bent around the curves and I think looks
: fairly neat. In case it isn't obvious from the photo, the face of the thin
: strip running across the photo slopes at 45 degrees. I will sand it a bit
: to hollow the centre and produce a curve. It should sand more easily than
: epoxy goop.
: I haven't glassed over it yet, but I think the glass will conform quite well.

For low stress joints this should work fine and looks great. Downside is you lose the adhesive properties of the epoxy filet that adds to the strength of a conventional filet.
