Nice job. What kind of clay did you guys use this time for the fillets? That first pic looks like on of my daughters art projects from nursery school.
Bryan It's the one on the right (green box)in the pic below


I was giving Tim a hard time about that colored template he made. He spent several hours pre cutting all his glass before he started but it did make the lay up go much faster.

Strick - So the same stuff you used before? Sorry for all the questions about clay but I have an idea that I am going to try using a large piece of plate glass that I have as a forming table and some pieces of corian. The clay would be used for fillets obviously. Now I need to find that clay. Thanks.

On the transom cap I used both those shown in the pic above. Do not use the oven craft clay because it is water based. The Super Sculpey clay is nice to work with because it is kinda like wax. I've used other oil based clays and they work ok. Just dont use the water based stuff. Tim used bondo on some areas of his swim platform and he had good luck. He put down tape so he would not make a mess. You sometimes have to sand the bondo or run a light layer of clay over it to make it smooth.
