Bolgerados,
Naw......I am not going to harp on this point but instead
will direct you to have a read through of Frank San Miguels' page on
his work with his AS-29.
The very last paragraph"filling the weave" is revealing:

This,of course,is not intended to be critical of Herb Taylor(the
builder) or his methods but rather to illuminate some pitfalls which
one may encounter later down the road if care is not taken in the
early stages of construction.Besides, it will never be easier to get
things right then right now,while your up to your ankles in dust-n-
tools.
What makes Franks' observations invaluable is that his repair work
is taking place on a bigger and "older" Bolger boat.Frank points
out "problem" areas which a future builder would do well to take his
time with to get it just right.A bit of hollow on some of those
joints would have saved a lot of grief for Frank ;-)
Anyhow, Frank does a great job of explaining his repairs and builders
should check it out.
Sincerely,
Peter Lenihan, hoping to not rattle anyones patience with all this
talk of sanding......I just happen to be doing some now :-)
