I am finishing a lot of parts on my Passagemaker take apart.
Need some input on using the graphite with epoxy. ( not sure if I should)
Inside daggerboard housing?, I will be painting my daggerboard white.
Drill and fill for thru bolts on rudder head. Do you think I can mix and fill a hole then drill with the idea of UV protection and less wear on the epoxy by bolt threads. I may be paiting my rudder white.
Masthead hole, boom and yard holes? I will only be varnishing the rest of the pieces.
Thanks
Anthony

Definitely inside of daggerboard case. I also painted my daggerboard and rudder w/graphite. I wouldn't worry about lashing holes. I used a small block instead of a hole at the masthead. You could embed a metal sleeve if you're worried about the threads wearing or maybe epoxy putty on the threads that aren't needed. Do you have a build blog?
