: Next thing will be to make a drill jig and drill holes in all of the planks,
: then stitching the construction and hot glue the seams. What I don't
: understand is what the hot glue is for? Is it so that it keeps some sort
: of form for the actual fiberglass joinery ?

Eek..."hot glue the seams" - do what Jim says and talk to Pygmy. Maybe use a dab of hot glue to temporarily hold temporary forms in place. But seams, they should be pure epoxied together - no????

Cheers Pete
