In Response To: Doorskins (Jay Babina)

Seems like I'm the only one with problem building with doorskin -- a minor one. I built a S&T Guillemot (not a easy one for S&T.) There was a hidden void near the bow on the right deck. It broke off about a foot near the tip. I just cut both sides off and strip build to fill in, as if it was part of the design.
I persumed that the void might not be a problem with other designs because there was a lot of twist and stress to bend the doorskin to conform to the shape in the exact location where it broke off.
Will I use door skin in the future? Yes, I have no problem using it again.
