Nick and i used to do that technique even using a strand of "woven Roving" the heavy 24 oz? cloth use on big boats. I havn't done it lately, no particular reason why not but it is a great way to make a smooth clear fillet.

: 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.
