: I found it easiest to work with the boat secured at seated-shoulder height,
: but on edge. You work with your head and one arm (only) in the boat. This
: should work well with the spot-tack-then-fillet method.

: Also, I think you should tape over the fillet for strength. If you use short
: lengths of overlapping tape this is not too difficult. Trying to get long
: lengths or god forbid a continuous strip all the way around to lay flat is
: impossible.

for sure, who's to care or see? and the sitting down approach sounds pretty good, beats some of the contorted crouching i keep doing.
