: 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?
I've built four Pygmy S&G's this way, using only tape on the inside. I've single-handedly spun the panels around in a variety of contortions, as my shop is only 14 feet by 24 feet. I bend them quite a bit while re-orienting them, and have yet (knock on mahogony) to break a seam.
