Default Re: Hull to deck joint.?.....again..

I know the epoxy will be tought but I am concerned with adhesion. The sides are a rought weave, ovbiously structural glass. I neeed to get a more agressive wire brush that I can put on a 4" grinder. I think that will do the trick. Do you guys think a fairing compound will flake off when the hull side flex. They do not appear to move but I'm guessing all boats move somewhat. How would the Quik Fair handle that? Also how much do you think I need? If you look at the pic, the other side is the same plus the anchor locker bulkead.

Any opinions on grinding the screws and glassing the seams? Will the heat affect the glass?
