Sorry to hear about the cracks. Just a speed bump, though. Epoxy putty will fill them in just fine. Build on.

: well I put a soaked a bath towl in water and let it drape over the hull for 1
: 1/2 hr.. Started to rachet the belt and heard a pop! I now have a series
: of cracks running down one strip for aproximently 17 in. I think this one
: will have to be done by eye. The next time I build this boat I will try
: the rachet belt method on fresh glue.
