Hi,
I looked at your latest pictures and saw some of the gaps that you want to fill.
Balsa wood would be an excellent way to fill these areas, but keep in mind that the wood will still need to be covered with glass when you are done.
I ordered some 2.5 ounce glass from one of the big supply houses for treating gaps such as you refer to.
Even with glass this thin, there are many places where it does not want to stay flat in areas with tight bends.
Here's the patience part:
What I had to do was wet out the glass, place it as desired, then work the area over with a hair dryer set on medium. Too hot and I could affect the soft foam underneath.
Keep working the area until the resin gets real sticky. At this point you need to keep working the cloth until it stays tight in the high-bend areas. Once the resin is tacky like tape, your done, so just sit back and let it completely setup.
Lots of work and patience, but really nice results when you are done!!
Jim.
