After building up the corners of the rudder boxes with a good thick mixture of micro balloons, cabosil ad epoxy, I was able to use a thick commercial roofing membrane as a mold to keep the mixture in place.
With the remainder of the same batch, I filled the edges of the upper rudder bearing access hatches.
To dig out the edges of the laminated pieces, I discovered a tool that has actually become very useful.
It's a power band file ( basically a small hand held belt sander that is highly adjustable and makes it possible to sand and remove material from very secluded areas. This tool is available from Harbor freight Tools for a guilt producing price of $29.00 seen here :
Political comment:
I find it very clever that a Chinese manufacturer would name the brand of a tool for a large city in the United States........It would leave you to believe that you are supporting the US economy by buying "local". It's also very amazing how small they can print the words "MADE IN CHINA" on a sticker.
