Epoxy/ micro balloons filler on rear non-trips. 

 

Same filler at front sponsons. 

 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 

Fill and Sand 

Use 30 minute epoxy and filler (micro 
balloons work very well) to fill the gaps at 
both rear non-trips, as well as any gaps 
on the hull. 
 
Mix the micro balloons so that the mixture 
is like stiff toothpaste. Almost dry 
consistency. Work quickly. 
 
Use a piece of scrap wood as a spatula to 
apply.  
 
Don’t worry if it’s not pretty. We are going 
to sand most of it off anyway. 
 
Also apply this filler mixture to the corner 
where the bottom meets the front 
sponsons.  
Make a nice small fillet. Dip your finger in 
denatured alcohol and smooth it as much 
as possible. 
Wipe off as much excess glue as 
possible. 
 
 
Allow to cure overnight. 
Sand all filler and rear non-trips with 80. 
 
Sand the 1/16 sponson non-trip sheeting 
flush with the spray rail.  
Use a piece of tape on the sponson chine 
to protect it from the sanding block. 
 
Sand the hull with 80, then 180 or 220. 
 
Cut the tabs holding the hull to the jig. 
Be careful not to cut too close to the hull. 
Cut low, near the jig. 
 
Stand back and admire your awesome 
new Thunderboat hull! 
I’ll bet that is was not nearly as difficult as 
you thought!
