Hi;

No comment about correct sequence, I think Vernon summed it up, but I will comment on how nice your hull looks - Good show!

I have just glassed my inside deck, up to 3 layers of glass in spots . . . I'm waiting for it to gel, later tonight I'll fit it to the already cured & set hull for curing to shape - Wish me luck, this may make or break my overall effort . . . ;-)

FWIW, it seems the inside glassing is tougher than the exterior glassing - - Lots of extra elbow grease required. I can now appreciate the efforts of the canoe builders here who can make it look perfect inside as well as outside (Hi Ross) - - A kayak may actually be a good learning device for a canoe . . . !

Enjoy the rest of the process, it's all fun - - Spidey
