: To avoid taping the sharp angles of the internal shear, I added small shear clamps except in the cockpit area. I'll attach the deck and hull next. My work on the kayak has slowed because I'm simultaneously building a Merlin solo canoe, but it won't be long before launch.

What??? Only two simultaneous boat projects? What's up with that?

...I too chose a small sheerclamp to avoid inside taping. I used left-over full length 4mm Okoume ripped into 1" strips (beveled down to about 3/4"). Only used two pieces per side (1/4") plus the outside panel for a total of 3/8" or so of gluing surface. Sound like enough? When you say small, How small? Of course, the outside of this seam will get glassed, just not the inside.
