s&g questions

1. Is there a putty or something that can be used hide the wire tie holes on my hull panels.

2. How far behind the backband should the cockpit opening be.

3. Has anyone used 2" minicell for bulkheads. The 3" seems really thick and heavy. I was thinking about slicing alittle off for other parts of the boat.

4. The hull panels are slightly unfair running along the chines of my boat. Also the panel joins at the bow and stern mismatch by about an eighth of an inch. Like a dummy I glued it all together already.....

Is this not uncommon. Will the boat paddle in circles or something.
