I will be doing some kind of an end pore with in the next month also and this has always baffled me. If I put in a block of wood, would it be about foot long? And should I tuck in some fiberglass first? If I use a thickend epoxy instead, and put it in with a radiused piece of wood, it looks like I could do it before I fasten the haul and deck together and again should I put in some fiber glass first or just fiber glass over it? And is the end pore just to toughen up the ends from banging around and for extra strength? Thanks.
