Thanks for the heads up on inside gaps. I think I was careful about that, but I was not checking the inside during the stripping. We shall see how it turned out...

: Very cool idea and execution! Not to be a grinch, but are you
: monitoring the inside? The overwhelming tendency is to
: over-bevel, which causes gaps on the inside, where you don't see
: 'em until you're stuck with 'em. Yesss, just ask me how I know.

: Since I "went there", here's my remedy tip: Durham's
: putty. It comes in powder form in a can, just mix with water,
: trowel on, sand flush. It fairs out the surface easily and
: presents a continuous lightweight core ready for fiberglassing.
