In Response To: Other: Post pictures of your screw ups! (Erik Wahlstrom)

I can't really post a picture of my biggest screw up... it looks fine. The problem is that the boat does not have enough Knee room for my liking. Why, cause I let the deck sit with glass on the outside two mths before glassing the inside, the deck curled out, and I forced the Hull to do the same.

All other mistakes on my kayak I hardly notice, especially when I'm off paddling. also when your building the screw ups are much worse than when you are finished... cause you will fix them to the best or your ability, or the level you need.

there are several "ugly spots" that I have put up on the link. they are not really bad, other than the fact they could have been fairly easily avoided.

have fun
