Best way to do/make Epoxy Fillets?

[jackiboi_11]

Hi, im just now trying to get into HPR from Mid power and was wondering the best way to make fillets stronger and look good at the same time because right now i'm terrible at that and just let the epoxy settle itself into the area between the body and fins (i know thats not the right way to do it but I dont know about any other way.)

Thanks for the help!

There are numerous existing threads on here about epoxy fillets, so just go up into the search and type in epoxy fillet and there will be quiet a few threads for you to read through, many with pictures and descriptions on how it's done.

Braden (@UPscaler) has an excellent video on his YouTube channel.

I used this method on my L1 build, and it works very well.

Hobie1dog is the man. His look like they grew there.

He helped me.

I have done it twice using his method and they turned out nice. When I can afford the epoxy he recommended they will be even better.

I will post a link.

Practice is also a big help..
