Leave the wires in place until the inside work is done. You may need to push 'em
snug into the inside corner with a screwdriver to get 'em below the surface of
the fillet.
It saves a fair amount of time to apply the fillet and the inside glass at the
same time. Use peel ply and form the whole mess with a stick with a rounded (1"
radius?) end.

When it's cured, clip the wires on the outside and dress 'em flush with a file, a
grinder or a belt sander.

Looking for some net wisdom here for anyone who has built a stich and glue
boat. I am building a 14' power skiff from the plans at glen-l.com. I have
stiched the boat and start to apply the fillet. My question is when should I
remove or try to remove the wire holding the boat together? Is the fillet
strong enough to hold the boat together or should I wait until I apply the
fiber glass to the seams? Just wondering when I should remove the wire.
Thanks
