sanded for subsequent fiberglass tape application. Alternatively, the tape can be applied after EZ Fillet starts to get
stiff. Use SilverTip laminating resin for this purpose and work EZ Fillet under the wet tape for a smooth, bubble-free
composite.

Most likely 72, but it is far better to work wet on wet. I basically never fillet without being ready to tape anymore. I think I have a hatch lid to finish with sanded fillet, but I will probably go over it again.FluidDynamic wrote: ↑Tue Mar 17, 2020 9:24 pm How long do I have after fileting joints with ez filet to still get a chemical bond?
Sanding tapes is my life. Gets glass all over me. Part of building.FluidDynamic wrote: ↑Wed Mar 18, 2020 12:25 am Thanks. I did exactly what you said. I wish I could have gotten the woven fabric on after putting on the tape, but I ran out of time. I guess I'll have to sand now.
