: Hi All,

: I am stripping the deck, have faired all the deck forms and am setting the
: deck shear. I have put some removable (blue) tape on the hull shear to
: keep them from getting glued together and I have a 1/8th" gap now
: between the taped hull shear and deck shear is this correct, or is is best
: to have more clearance ? I have read of others having their decks seem on
: the small side when they go to tape them together. I realize that this
: comes from factors others have described and will be much better if not
: perfect when they are all taped together. I just wonder if having a bigger
: gap is important for this or other reasons. It seems right to me, I
: checked Rob's instructions and it is probably right in front of em, but i
: can't find it and want to make sure, thanks

1/8" gap is what you want.
