Hi,

I did not like the results with the Tape on my coho. Building a Tern now and I used the old Pygmy method of joining the panels - butt blocks on the inside. Used a piece of the 3"wide 4mm ply that they provide in the kit and glued that on over the seam on the inside and weighted with bricks. Then beveled the edges so the glass will lay well over these blocks. Looks great and was easy to do. Just have to be careful about which side you put them on!

: I'm helping a friend with some local "tech support" as he's
: building an Arctic Tern and a Coho. He started with the insides of the
: butt joints, but is having a problem getting that fine-weave glass tape to
: wet out fully and disappear.

: I told him I thought he should brush the epoxy onto both sides of the tape
: before applying it to the wood to make sure it get a chance to saturate--I
: didn't think the epoxy was traveling completely through the tape, causing
: his white spots. Any other thoughts?
