EPOXY FILLETS AND FIBERGLASS DETAILS
Inside seams have been filled with epoxy, sanded, and covered with two layers of 4" wide tape. Then all surfaces were covered with a single layer of 8 oz. cloth with 4" overlaps along the keel. Notice the plywood doublers around the forward bulkhead.
With the insides glassed, the boat can be turned over, all dry wall screws removed and the wire ties clipped off. The joints are rounded and any holes filled with epoxy. The edges are then checked for "flat spots" and blended into each other. The outsides are glassed the same as the inside. Two layers of tape over every joint and 1 layer of cloth over everything.
Fiberglass cloth is draped over the hull and smoothed. Notice the overlap down the keel and 4" wide tape pieces ready to be placed over the joints.
After covering the bottom, two 4" wide pieces of tape are glassed over each joint for additional reinforcement.
