I agree with Nick also. My hull went pretty fast a week or so. Then I hit the deck and couldn't decide on the design, then decided on bending some pine strips around the cocpit and join each other at each end. Anyway, wow that pine did not want to bend, ended up using finishing nails the U jig clamps staples and blocks of 3/4" ply sheetrock screwed to the forms to wedge the ends of the strips. Figured when I took all that stuff off the strips would blow up but the tightbond worked and I went back to stripping and staples. I use both the clamps and staples. This thing will be in the water before the end of the year at this rate, WE HAVING FUN YET!!! 8^).
