I like to use fast resin for the wood wet out so it gets tacky quickly, slow resin for the fillet so it doesn't auto-cook (more important with big fillets like the acute angles, and hot days), and I usually don't bother to wait for the fillet to firm up- tooling the tape into the fillet with a double-gloved finger is a nice way to get smooth results, and you can push the stuff around at the ends to help bond the tricky parts.<br /><br />This way, you can tape a single joint in about a half hour if that is the time chunk you have available, instead of being committed to a whole day process of consecutive cure times. I'm not a rockstar glass guy, but these are the things that have worked better for me.McNeelyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05858946230700157186noreply@blogger.com
