In Response To: Re: Epoxy: end pours (Bill Hamm)

: Ok, no one seems to want to answer this, so I'll give it a shot. I don't do
: it this way, but if the boat is lightly constructed and the ends only have
: the strips glued to each other, ie: tiny glue area, then end pours can be
: important since it's nearly impossible to glass the ends of the boat (on
: the inside) and to gain any real strength there the end pour is a
: substitute for glassing. So, the end pour is not just for the toggles.

: Bill H.

Why not just fillet the ends with microbaloons as per bulkheads etc?
