In Response To: Strip: underside of the deck (DaveS)

: Hello, I just finished stripping the deck of my Shearwater Hybrid. I ripped
: my own strips and beveled the edges. Everything went well and the deck
: looks great. My question is about the underside of the deck. I
: over-beveled in several spots resulting in a gap between the strips on the
: underside. Do I fill these gaps with epoxy wood/flour mix before
: fiberglassing?

: Thanks

Just use a lightweight wood filler, water-based. Anything will do. Sand and glass per normal. I wouldn't mess with epoxy for this: needless trouble and expense.
