I am building my first fiberglass kit and am doing Wildman style fillets. Traditionally I have made the aft centering ring and motor retainer the last two structural steps of any build, so this is a significant change.
Before I would do six point fillets for through wall fins, but two of those would be difficult if not impossible to inject. Do people simply skip #3 and #4 and make four fillets per fin?
I purchased some of the chopped carbon fiber too. Does one normally chop further, or use as it came? Is that used alone, or along with another filler like the colloidal silica?
