This little Auk is generating a lot of questions on my part…
I’m getting ready to fiberglass the hull and I found a few small cracks between strips and some pinholes that were unfilled. I made a small batch of epoxy with wood dust and filled them in. Around these fills the epoxy soaked into the wood, so there are darker areas around these repairs. I sanded everything smooth but the epoxy went deeper. These will (should) disappear when I put on the fiberglass and epoxy right? I’d hate to have to sand these areas back down to bare wood.
A related question: does every pinhole and tiny crack need to be filled? I imagine the epoxy will soak into them and fill them, though I suppose they might be source of air bubbles.
