The first attempt to make a fillet on the port side of the keel was a failure.
The rear half of the fillet started to cure before I could shape it, so it had to be left to harden.
When it was fully cured I ground off the lumps and bumps and smoothed the surface with a carbide burr and taped it up to create a new fillet 1 1/2" wide at the seam.
It looked like this.
Then I reapplied the fillet, removed the tape and cleaned up the excess mixture, and applied a strip of Peel Ply before shaping the fillet with a 3" nylon roller.
This is what it looked like.
When fully cured I removed the Peel Ply, and the fillet now looked like this.
That will be ready for fibreglass when sanded and faired.
We're getting there!
