: Once the fillets have hardened, you will no longer be able to slide
: the cloth to position it properly over the fillet. The fibers
: will catch on every little ridge and it will be incredibly
: frustrating (I'm just guessing :-) ). Also, you will wind up
: applying excess epoxy to wet out the cloth and fill all the
: little gaps and voids since you will not be able to squegee the
: cloth. So if you apply the tape while the fillets are still wet,
: you will make them a bit "dented" but it is much
: easier and requires much less epoxy.

I was trying to avoid the inevitable "denting" of my nice fillets, (on the next boat, of course). But it sounds like doing the tape wet-on-wet is the best way to go, even if it means a little bit of denting. It's just the perfectionist in me trying figure out how to make "perfect" fillets...
Thanks for your input.
