: I have finished stripping the hull of my Gilly and am wondering
: what is the last word on filling gaps. Epoxy with wood flour?
: Water base wood putty? Oil base wood putty? Or something else? I
: know I can use small slivers for big gaps but how about small
: ones. My bead and cove has some definite issues. I know this is
: an on going issue so I am looking for the most recent best
: method. Thank agian for any information. Joe

I use Elmer's water based wood filler, one part, sold at HD and it's cheap. Dries fast and works ok.
