: 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.

: Thanks,

You could use an old caulking tube that is empty or has gone hard, clean it out, put thickened epoxy in it and used it in the caulking gun. I've never done it but it should work and give you a foot or two extra reach.
