BTW here is a set of sanding blocks that I cannot live without, when it comes to fillets.

The angled set "C" on the right in the picture, specifically the thinner middle one, is the most utilized one for me. That and the convex set. I have yet to use the concave blocks.

Hey, thanks for that link! Best $16 (plus $8 S&H) I've spent in quite a while...get them yesterday, and have already put them to work.

BTW, I used the concave pieces to round the leading and trailing edges of by 1/4" plywood fins.
 
I use a squeeze type gun for epoxy similar to this one. Perfect mixing, and the long tips make internal fillet easy. I like 5 minute formulas from 3M or Global Adhesives, which self level. Tape is blue painters tape pulled off after 2 minutes or so. If it is applied evenly, no taping is necessary
