Well I finally told myself I'd better get started and epoxied the first 4 joints on my Annapolis Wherry tonight. Built a small plastic tent and have a halogen light on inside to keep the temp warm enough. We'll see how they look tomorrow after the 24 hour cure time.
I thickened to my percieved "mustard" consistency. . .almost like a thick icing that can still run ever so slightly. Hope it works! Decided to just do these 4 joints just in case I need to make an adjustment to my technique.

Looks like the joints are strong. . if a couple are a little messy. I'll have to scrape and sand a little to get them nice. Using the same techniques I went ahead and glued up the rest of the joints. Same tent setup seems to be working great!

Good luck! Maybe I'm just culinarily challenged, but sometimes I did have concerns over "mustard" vs. "mayonnaise" vs. "peanut butter" consistency. :-) I think I wound up with a thinner "mustard" by the end than at the start, but the "peanut butter" fillet consistency got thicker as I got used to working with it. Go figure!
