: I am currently building Duane Strosaker's Point Bennett 18. I've
: just tacked the hull and deck together and now I have to fillet
: the inside seams. The only real problem areas will be the stem
: and stern. My fwd and aft hatches are both about 4' from the
: ends of the boat -which makes for a pretty tight fit for doing
: the filleting.

: I was wondering if anybody has any tips or tricks on how to to this
: as painless as possible.

: I've been tracking my progress in my blog if anybody is interested.

Well since you've already got the hull/deck attached, my idea won't work. I use short sheer strakes in the bow and stern and then just epoxy the ends down, but they have to be installed before the hull/deck are attached.
