building a squirt, where bottom planking and side planking meet , one ends up with a sharp 90 degree edge. trying to fiberglass this edge, the epoxy causes the fiberglass to pull away leaving a air space.
what should i do round the edges, then build them up with epoxy and filler after fiberglass.

Round the edges about like a wooden pencil. If you want them sharp again you can build them up with fillers and epoxy. Then sand to shape.
