salut a la finistere
:?::evil:just working on a '70's mirror - in good condition apart from internal tape on taped seams ie around cockpit area - main floor seam ok but others were loose (now removed) - joints behind/under tape still fine and appear strong!
- a rather silly novice question(i think!) - what is best treatment for this problem? re tape or use epoxy fillets on 90 degree bits with minor retaping of flat butted joints.

If you want to keep her in class, it has to be taped. I've done both on other boats, and the filleting is easier, but somehow the tape inside and out on the little canoe I built seemed more satisfyingly solid.
