Hey, How ya doin Rehhhhzzz?? Yeh, I think I read something about that and my Dad also can relate to it. About 15 years ago, he built one of Clardcrafts Sportfisher boats, 26', and he used it in between the hull and deckplates. Not having any previous experience and of course, knowing it all, he got too much and lifted two or three pieces of the deck. Very fortunate it wasn't the hull. I'll watch very closely when I pour, and pour a little at a time and then top it off as needed. Thanks. I guess you already heard what FWIW stands for.

Are you considering a sailing rig for your yak? Or, building another one with that in mind? Later,

Rehd
