In Response To: S&G: pre-glass bow/stern shape (wwfloyd)

: Beveling of the panels on the CLC Shearwater left sharp bow/stern lines, but
: I'd really rather have them rounded a bit, yet not showing ply edges.
: Could I sand a bit, add "peanut butter," and then sand to taste,
: prior to glassing? That's how it went with the Pygmy Osprey, though the
: panels there were not beveled at all, and there was a natural groove to
: pack with thickened epoxy.

As long as it doesn't change the shape alot, you can do pretty much whatever you want, it's your boat, not CLC's. S&G though is pretty picky on panel shapes, so can't change it alot or the panels might not fit.
