My untaped fillets at the bulkheads turned out much neater than the taped fillet at the coaming. Deciding when to remove the tape was the problem. I think there are still some bits of tape on my finished boat under the cured epoxy. Again, practice joints make perfect but I know it's hard to wait. Think small fillet, easier to add than take away.

: Thanks guys,
: Is it necessary to tape off area for a clean fillet? Do you let the
: fillet set up before laying glass?

: I'LL use wood flour...
