Did you mix your dookie schmutz using wood flour so that the fillet would be wood colored? Did you also add Cab-O-Sil?

: If you are talking about the vertical portion of the coaming, page 113,

: to form the fillet, creating a clear fillet, but I used dookie schmutz. It

: I was adding the lip.I entirely agree that this fillet is necessary, and
: also that it is placed oddly in the book, but he warns of this in the
: introduction.
