: Well, the footbrace rails are in place, the "cheekplates" are hung
: - I guess there's no more postponing the inevitable. It's time to join the
: deck and hull. My plan is to spot glue my 3" glass tape along the
: inside of the hull, carefully line up the deck and hull edges and secure
: w/ strapping tape. Tip her on her side and commence to slathering the tape
: with resin, using a foam brush extension at the bow and stern. Let it set
: up and repeat for the other side. Let's see, worklight, brush extension,
: respirator...am I forgetting anything?

: Thanks,

I used Nicks method as well, you will be surprised on how easy it realy is. This was one part of the process I was not sure about, one of those things thatI thought was not going to work as easily as the book described. It was a pleasant surprise.
Good Luck
Jim
