Well, it's poop or git off the pot time ....
I've cut out my hatches (really despise that part - it seems so final!) and I'm working up nerve to glue the halves together. I was awful careful (honest!) and yet.... I've got gaps, bends and bulges that weren't part of the original plans. Oh, they're not insurmountable (I've got come-a longs with this boats name on it) but still..... Uncle Nick makes it look so doggone easy in his videos.
So here's the plan. I'm not gluing in the hatch shelves (ala' Vaclav) until after the halves are glued together (I have no small enuff kids to send in there, so I need all the rooom I can get); I'll comealong the halves, and use packing tape every 6" to hold it together, then use Superglue to tack weld it. Then it's 'dive in' time with the epoxy and tape. Any gaps on the outside - fill with sawdust/epoxy, and tape it.
Any holes in this?
