In Response To: Strip: Glass hull or strip deck? (Scott G)

: I am in the process of stripping a S.S. and have a question as to pros &
: cons of glassing the hull before removing it for the strong back vs.
: removing after the hull is stripped, strip the deck then do the sanding
: and glassing thing. Any opinions?
: Thanks

Scott,
I stripped the whole kayak, then glassed the hull..to get the mistakes done with :) Then the deck. I slipped waxed paper (per Nick's book) between the deck/hull in the shear. No problems. I did the recess before glassing the deck too.
Have fun! Steve
