In Response To: Glassing the inside of the hull? (Steve)

: I am about to glass the inside hull and I checked all width dimensions and
: they appear in the ball park. Not too wide or too narrow. Should I make
: sure after wetting out the hull inside to place something to keep it in
: shape or will it maintain the shape it was pre glassing? TIA
: Steve

I followed a technique I picked up from Spidey's site. After the epoxy was no longer tacky, but still soft, I taped the deck in place on the hull and let it cure. Just make sure to apply some tape along the seam to prevent any accidental adhesion.
