Well, I think I have the tools now to fight the fillets. They really are not as bad as I thought, but as the manual states, you will still need to smooth things outs. I picked up a Dremel 3000 from Home Depot and a sander from Harbor Freight.

I used the Dremel tool today on the bow section and it worked great to get the rough spots as well as the hard to reach places. I liked the ability to use the variable speeds, but you need to be careful. It will remove epoxy quickly! It came with a lot of attachments that I can see that will be beneficial on building the boat.

I also made some homemade sanding tools out of some pipe insulation. It is flexible and I use the rolled sanding paper that sticks to it. It has the same round shape as the fillets and it can conform too the different shapes.

The piece that has a handle is a sponge brush that I put a piece of sanding paper on. |
