I am almost ready for fiberglass but have one question. I put a veneer on the sides and have a 1/16" gap between them. I was wondering if I can go ahead and fiberglass then once it is dry come back and take a syringe and poke through and fill the gaps with epoxy?

fill the gaps with epoxy/wood flour before even thinking about glass

Thanks Billy. I filled the cracks with epoxy/wood flour today. Although I didn't get any fiberglass down I think you hit it right on the head that this is the best way to go. I will get it sanded later on in the week and hopefully get the fiberglass down next weekend. I am smell the end of this build coming.
