I'm glassing my hull of my Wood Duck tomorrow and had a question about filling-the-weave. &nbsp;  
For practice yesterday, I tried filling-the-weave inside the bulkhead.&nbsp; The bottom looks great, but the side panels (which are near vertical) held very little epoxy.&nbsp; The epoxy slowly flowed down.&nbsp; I'm not too worried since it was inside my hull, but I'm sure the outside hull will do the same thing.  
Has anyone else had the same problem, or am I doing something wrong?   
  
thanks

Danny

Danny --

I'm wondering if you were trying to do too much, i.e., whether you were applying a pretty thick coat to get the job done all at once, and it ran before it cured.&nbsp; I think you'll have the best luck using multiple thin coats.&nbsp; Takes longer, since you have to wait between coats, but there's less running and slumping.

By the way, smart move in starting with a less visible and less vital area!
