[QUOTE="Mojo, post: 127584, member: 2642"] It's been a busy morning. I got the ratchet straps taken off the new strakes and they are on that boat SOLID. Time to get to work with the fillets... I got the epoxy mixed up and added sillica to it till i got a nice thick paste. Added it all along the rail then went back and smoothed it out with a little rounded plastic fiberglass tool i picked up at Lowes. I had pre-cut the fiberglass tape to size and once my fillets were layed in i placed the fiberglass down and whetted it all out. I had some issues with air bubbles at the front and back. We'll see how bad it is after its all dried up. I'll give it 4-5 hours to cure then go out and cut any of the air bubbles out then lay down another layer of cloth. I'm starting to get the hang of this fiberglass stuff. [/QUOTE]
