: 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.
: SMF

Approximately 1/2"w by 5/8"h. Some of the height will be planed off when I fit the deck/hull joint. I suspect this will be enough surface area. I'll glass the exterior seam and the seam in the cockpit. After these two boats, I'm retiring for a while.
