I tried something new (to me) on the coaming uprights on my new plywood walrus.

After gluing in the strips around the cockpit opening (Nick Schade style) and sanding them down, I filled the corner with a bunch of long strands of glass that I pulled off of scraps of 6 oz fiberglass cloth I had laying around.

After wetting out the roving with unthickened epoxy using a syringe, I painted epoxy on the rest of the uprights and some of the deck around the cockpit opening and laid down the glass cloth strips I had cut to fit. I was able to push the cloth tight into the corner with a finger to make a smoothly radiused joint that dried without bubbles etc.

The finished joint came out almost clear and has a nice smooth look to it. Much better than the sawdust thickened epoxy goop I used to fill the corner on my last boat.

I'm sure many others have used this technique but thought I'd share it since it worked so well for me.
