Hi Paul;

Then you should really enjoy the next chapter . . . 8-)

While beveling the reinforcement glass strips into the hull, I actually managed to poke a quarter sized hole right thru the glass! However, because of encouragement from souls such as yourself, I simply applied a 4"sq. patch of glass and blended it invisibly into the rest of the layup . . . I am so enthused about the workability of epoxy that it ranks right up there with duct tape and transistors on my all-time top-ten list!

I'm attaching a photo of the first fill coat (patch included) - This current epoxy stuff is really unbelievable . . . Makes construction a real breeze. Can I join the club now? ;-)

Best Regards, Spidey
