: Has anyone built an S&G by just glass taping the seams and not glassing the

: it's been done.

I have done half of what you are thinking. I usually put light glass on the outside but use only tapes on the inside. I have done two kayaks this way with no problems at all. There are some who have used tapes only and kept their kayaks for many years so it is done.
