Hi Folks.

I did the sealer coat last night, and then applied the fillet this morning. Things didn't go so well with the fillet -- it was a messier proposition than I'd anticipated. I think I've got some remnants to clean up from the fillet and I'm wondering the best way to go about that. I think the fillet itself is fine, but it was a bit sloppy. Any ideas on how to clean up the mess? The below photo is the best for seeing what's up, the rest turned out a bit dark. But you can follow the link to see the balance.

I'm guessing I'll have to wait for awhile, let things stiffen up, and sand the leftover fillet material away. I'd like to hear differently, but I'm guessing that's the way to go. Anyone have advice?

Thanks again for y'alls help.
