: I did not like how the butt joints on my Coho looked & I sanded them to
: bare wood before glassing and have had no problems.When I built my wifes
: AT14 I didn't put glass on the exterior sides of the butts at all but
: doubled up the tape on the interior sides,less sanding and stronger joint.

Tape on only the inside worked great for me. I had no trouble with the joints coming loose, I even dropped one panel as I was moving it.
