OK, I hate to ask for this favor, but lately I find myself tired of fishing thru websites looking for this info so I thought I'd ask the experts out there for help. I've finished my empennage and am awaiting delivery of my wings and fuse. I figured I'd start smoothing the joints between the VS, HS, and elev and fiberglass caps. How? If someone could post a short tutorial on how to do this, such as do I use resin/hardener with filler first or fiberglass cloth and epoxy first, It would be a great help to me and possibly other builders out there also getting to this point. Thanks in advance.

jorge,
I used west systems epoxy with some microballoons mixed in. This works really
well. Very easy to sand. You could probaly also use the west systems filler
as well.
Do your best to get the fiberglass pieces fitted nicely. Don't rely on filler
to take up a lot of space. I did a lot of sanding on the 'joggles' so that
caps fit nice before using the filler.
