: Hi!

: My Igdlorssuit is nearing the time for assembling of deck and hull. As I have
: lowered the reardeck there is no way of adding glasstape to the inside of
: the joint. I have added an extra strip giving me a face of app. 12 mm for
: aplying thickened epoxy to. Then there will only be tape on the outside.
: Is the 12 mm wide surface enough??

: Gennie

That's about a 1/2", that's pretty narrow, doesn't give alot of room for error. I'd be happier about 50% wider. I use cedar for the sheerclamp btw, so it's pretty light.
