Extra dinghy update:
So I managed to complete the entire cockpit floor and side walls stripping of all old varnish as best as could be done on 40 something year old wooden boat! After cleaning out all the joints and cracks that I could get to it was time to mix up some fillet "peanut butter" mix. I learned a trick to easily applying the epoxy fillet material from a YouTube channel I have being following: (Sail Life). Place the mix into a freezer bag, cut off a small corner and gently squeeze while moving along the corner where you want the stuff to go... easy peazy lemon squeazy!
Prior to applying the fillet material I thoroughly wet out the area with straight laminating epoxy applied liberally with a small brush. This to ensure that the entire crack/fillet corner is saturated. After that its apply the woven fabric tape, wet it out and smooth it out.
