In Response To: Sanding... thought I was done (Doyle)

: 2nd question: If I am planning to use some wood flour and epxoy to fill a
: couple of gaps, wouldn't it make sense to do my seal-coat on the hull
: first and fill in the gaps with flour/epoxy later? If I use the
: flour/epoxy first, won't it dis-color the hull?

Could you use some thin slivers of similar wood to fill your gaps? These would be less noticable than epoxy. You may not even have to glue them in as they will be saturated with epoxy and covered with glass later.
