well almost:

i have the hatches cut and the cheekplates installed. the hatch lips are installed and they are purple.

the paint pigment worked great.

the combing lip is installed and sanded, it still needs to be glassed.

how many layers of glass get used on the cheekplates to keep them attached. i have one now on each side attached to the boat. it seams to flimsy.

i will try one more later on tonoghit, but if i should use 3 or 4 i could do it all at once. i want to do the cheek plates before the combing lip so the edges can be feathered
