: don't the directions instruct you to tape/glue both sides at once? Are you
: really able to stitch up those panels with only one layer of glass tape on
: the inside?

As I recall the destructions say to glass one side, then flip and do the other. But you can skip one side, it will be glassed anyway. See ootek's post above. You do risk breaking a panel, like I said, I did and it will leave a mark on the completed boat. That might be an uacceptable risk to some builders.
