I have filled the holes in the past but not now...

In Response To: Filling Stitch Holes (Jay Babina)

...for the very reasons that Jay has spelled out. I have built 4 S&G's so far and am working on No. 5 these days. I won't be filling anything that might affect the overall look of my Night Heron: THIS S&G is one that I am working hard to take great care on achieving a finished look that is spotlessly appealing. Heck, I won't even risk running this one over ice and rock. I am doing a 4-oz glass lay up and considering doing only tapes on the inside seams in order to keep the weight as light as possible. Might even dip into the aniline dye to add some color.
