I'm in the process of putting the filets on the fins on my Super Big Bertha.
I was going to use epoxy clay, but wasn't sure I had enough so I went with good old yellow Elmers wood glue. My standard.
Here's the problem.
I'm ending up with large voids (air pockets) in the filet when it dries. I guess some of this is probably from shrinkage.
I dig out the voids as best I can, & then go back & fill them, but then I end up with voids & large "pin holes" in the glue I just put in to fill the void.
What am I doing wrong?????
Is this why some of you use 15 min epoxy?
Thanks.
