    Filling Strikes?

    I’m resuming my redo what material is suggested to use to fill in the strikes?

    I found out that they just glassed over the top of them, so there is a triangleish hollow tube where each of them are.

    Should I open them all up and fill them in with something or just leave them hollow like they are now?

    Fill them. We used to use USC filling/fairing compound. Was designed for filling strakes too. Not sure if they still make it though. Merrits discontinued it. We went to a light weight filling compound they had. Seems to be similar.

    As mentioned, there are several polyester structural putties designed for this. You can also core them with balsa or foam cores for less weight.
