In Response To: Strip: Fillers (Steve Solomon)

On my last boat I sanded it out completely then wetout the boat with epoxy ignoring the slight gaps. After the wetout coat hardens mix up more epoxy add sawdust, light and dark to get the correct tone. Make it into a peanut butter consistency and force it into any gaps. Doing the wetout first prevents the patch from bleeding into the surrounding areas and discoloring them. I've looked and can't see where my gaps were.
