Repair Sans Hatches

Sorry about that, I couldn't resist :)

I waited until my hatches were cut out before I ran the tape on the inside because i didn't want to deal with the hassle of a syringe on a stick laying goo everywere. I guess it depends on where the damage is located. At the extreme ends, I would opt to take a saw to the deck too while I was clearing up the damage. Patch the hole, then repair the deck. At least with the deck, you can flip the yak upside down and access through the cockpit to lay out the glass and smooth it out.
