I’m sure if I was paying retail that would hold absolutely true. My business account with local marine ply dealer is just too good to pass up. Definitely thought about it though! Maybe my next project I’ll indulge on some nicer materials

Correct. One layer of 1708. Fir so really going to make sure everything is glassed: top, sides and bottoms of everything exposed and otherwise.

Any downsides to filleting with silica/cabosil as opposed to wood flour?

Well, I always fillet and tape same day because silica sands hard.
Silica is not hygroscopic, wood is, but wood-epoxy mix is pretty waterproof as the epoxy seals the wood..

Re: 1986 19' Atlantic rebuild
Definitely gonna be working wet on wet. I just have plenty of fumed silica and just not sure I need the wood flour as a thickening agent. Not like this is an all wooden boat and worried about appearance because everything is gonna be hidden or painted with non skidfallguy1000 wrote: ↑Mon May 09, 2022 8:34 pm Well, I always fillet and tape same day because silica sands hard.

That will work just fine. Just do like Fallguy said and work wet on wet where you can. Anything that saves picking up the sander is a good thing

I really hate sanding. I hate sanding fillets more.
I sanded both hull cabins over the last week. Now some fairing to make the walls so they can't cut you.
Looks dungeony in my pic, but under a tent on a cloudy day. There is a window in the bunk area with smoked glass.
Lotsa wet on wet taped fillets in here.
