Did you also have to work with the glue gun? I have never
: worked with a glue gun. Can you tell me how it went for you and how strong
: the glue really is ?

All the hot glue does is hold the temporary frames in place while you glue and glass the hull. It doesn't take much glue to do the job. We "spot welded" the frames with a 1/2" drop of glue. So far it has held up nicely. (We had to move the boat to make room for a party Sat. night with no problems). The trick is to use only enough glue to keep everything in the proper shape, any more just has to be removed later. This is the part we haven't gotten to yet. Soon, very soon I think.
