Re: Smoothing fillets

did you put cabosil in the goop with the woodflour??,10%-15% can make a big difference. Are these fillets with no glass? Try wiping them down with a gloved finger dipped in alcohol after they've set to a semifirm cure. All the slightly dissolved epoxy dripping may look messy but it won't matter if the interior is painted. If you're going to varnish things then pre-sealing the okoume would be render the mess (alcohol dripping everywhere) sandable. If you saw the fillets on CLCs demo Sailrig, Sassafras canoe, Arctic Hawk, etc you'd see some smooth fillets.
