That was the intent, but right at the end it's pretty hard to get one side without getting some googe on the opposite. I'd hate to tear the whole deck off, the only problem is in the last foot of the ends, on one side. I'll see what I can do to clean it off tonight. If I can get a rasp in there, then put new tape over the foot or so, that would work.

: You could always slit the seam to break the hull and deck apart and redo
: properly.

: Gotta admit, I would have left the one side to dry overnight before starting
: on the next one. that is the way I did my merganser atleast.

: sorry to hear of your troubles.
