Default RE: Using foam for fillet
Jim,

I used green "floral" foam from the craft shop to shape fillets for my Pitts Super Stinker. It is very easy to work with, just harden the material with thin CA and kicker. I follow-up with a thinned mixture of epoxy and milled fiberglass. Sand the high spots then fill as usual.
