Mother of sailboats
Sooo… as I was busy cutting the hull off my sailfish, I learned the hard way just how close was too close when using my circular saw…
I have three 1/8” approx slices in my pretty sides. One is so shallow, I think the new Wood colored Thixo 2.0 will work just fine. The other two are about an inch or so deep. Should I mix up my own Thixo or total boat expoxy with some oak sawdust and fill them with that? I suppose I could also make some super thin oak slices and epoky them into the gap instead?
I need this to of course be watertight, but also pretty as possible because she’s getting a clear finish. These slices are where the hull is being attached, so at least that should be less a visual problem that if I did it at deck level. ;-)
