thats how i do it too. I have made a bunch of successful boats with no fiberglass on or around the bulkheads.

--eric
: I just installed the bulkhead with a fillet on either side made from
: thickened epoxy and then coated each side with a nice coat of epoxy.
: That's it, nice and sweet. I have used to boat two seasons (April -
: November), have rolled it, filled it, etc with NO problems.

: I say skip the glassing part and use a fillet and coat with epoxy.

: Get it done so you can use it.
