In light of the Spektrum discussion, and with the risk of sticking my hand in a bees nest, I have a question.
![Cool 8)](./images/smilies/icon_cool.gif)
Is it regal to use (on the out side of the hull) filler, f.ex. Plastic Padding, or epoxy with microballoons/microfibre.
I ask because I have build myself a new IOM, but after I have sailed her a couple of times, I am not quit happy with her. Therefore I would like to ad some filler, specially in the forship. I think I have made an error there, and would like to ad some volume.

But in light of the Spektrum discussion, I did a little reading of the rules.
And here come my problem.
The rules regarding hull materials is in part II, witch is closed rules, so anything not specifically permitted is prohibited. Looking at rule D2.1 filler is not listed, so it is prohibited.
One could argue that filler falls in under one of the listed materials (f.ex. adhesive or paint)
But am I right??
![Question :?:](./images/smilies/icon_question.gif)
I think there are many boats around that has used filler, specially those that is homemade. So before I start making the changes I would like your opinion.
Best regards
