: Hey Steve,

: I'm not sure, but I "think" you already glassed your hull before
: you started stripping the deck (like me). I hope others with experience
: here will give their way of handling this. I was thinking of using hot
: glue and pcs of 1X to hold the deck and the hull in shape (particularly at
: the shear) while they are apart. Hope others can comment.

: Arthur
Maybe I screwed up but I glassed the bottom of the hull(outside), stripped the deck. Then glassed the deck. Then I removed the deck from the forms faired the insides of each and I just finished the inside glassing of the hull. I thought that was the order or I'm in the twilight zone! Tomorrow night I'll then glasthe inside of the deck then fit the two together again. Right? Oh boy, it's been a bad week :(
