Re: Nymph Update 11/30/02
I use plastic disposable pastry or cake decorating bags, find them
at a cooking supply store. They are cone shaped and you can snip off
the end for varying the size of the filet. To fill the bag I have a
tin can of a smaller diameter than the wide end of the bag mounted
on my bench. The bag is dropped in the can and the top of the bag is
folded over the edge of the can, this holds the bag open for filling.

I always just scooped it in out of the mixing cup with the tongue depressor
used to mix it all up.

Finished all filling and taping on the inside of the hull. The
process went quite a bit more smoothly this time than last.
In this session, I allowed the epoxy 'primer coat' on the seams to
stiffen up a bit prior to filling it. I think that saved a lot of
the sagging I experienced last time. Also tried to let the putty
stiffen a bit prior to taping it.
Had no problems with wrinkles; partly because I've had some practice,
and partly because the bilge-to-side joints don't have as much curve
as the bilge-to-bottom joints.
I got scraps of several different PVC pipes and used them as fillet
tools. I have 3/4", 2", and 3", cut square on one end, and cut 45
degrees on the other. This gives me six different radius to work
with. Seems to be a good trick. The little section of 3/4" was also
useful for rolling the tape into place.
