Do you have to make a lot of slits or darts to get the cloth over the vertical strips? I made a recess for the front half of my Great Auk cockpit. There is a three-sided point at transition from the peaked deck to the recess, and I will give the cloth time to drape and conform, but I'll have to take it off to make the fillet.
Is peanut butter about the right consistency for the dookie schmutz?
Is transparency with the fillet any kind of an issue?
