The knowhow is accumulating slowly but steadily. I found out that laying glass-taping fillets is best done when the fillet is still wet. Simply lay the fillet, cut out the needed length of tape and place it on the fillet, tapping the tape into place with your fingertips. Gives a nice result, since you do not need to sand the dried fillet in the pre-glass phase.\u00a0 I also decided to add some extra reinforcement to the stern transom. Simple butt joints wont do, so I put an extra layer of thin plywood on top to be on the safe side.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-280 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/purjekas.planet.ee\/?attachment_id=281'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/purjekas.planet.ee\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/peegel_klaas_2-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-281\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-281'>\n\t\t\t\tThe glass is soaked and eager to dry.
