Fiberglass is all wetted out and cured. Came out pretty well. I’m filling the weave and fairing the hull with epoxy thickened with microballoons. My question is, can the wale strakes be epoxied over
top of a layer of microballoon-thickened epoxy, or should I leave that part of the hull unfilled/unfaired and glue the wales directly onto the wetted out/cured fiberglass? Thanks
Epoxy/microballoon mix is extremely strong in compression but weaker in shear and tension. The attachment would be much stronger on glass.

Thanks. Sounds consistent with other questions and answers I’ve read on the forum regarding microballoons.
