Filleting the deck.
Filleted the deck, its pretty easy work, just mix your polyester resin same as you always do. The only difference is then adding a thickening agent to make your resin the consistency of peanut butter and fill in any gaps in between the deck and the hull.
I rounded off the end of a paint mixing stick and used that as a tool to spread and force the mixture into the crevices. I used west system 406 as my thickener. There is lots of stuff that could be used, chop strand, saw dust, fumed silica or a combination of them. I mix my resin and hardener first then add the thickening agent, be prepared to use a lot of it don’t buy a small amount, buy a gallon.
