i have never used fiber glass cloth before. there is a ridge between my sheer panel and deck, i have sanded some of it away, but am wondering if the cloth and epoxy will fill it up, thanks

It is common for the deck to overhang the hull when you first put them together. If that's the case, try to bend the deck in with straps and tape. After you have glassed the inside of the seam, sand off any remaining overhang. If a gap remains, fill it with thickened epoxy and sand it smooth. You do not want to have any air gaps under the cloth. If the filled seam bothers you, cover it with vinyl tape after your varnish has cured. -Wes
