: Well, it's time to 'fess up. I screwed up big time. I let my
: Guillemot hull sit in slings with just seal coats of epoxy while
: I worked on other things. I, as an idiot, neglected to build and
: attach spacers. When I got around to glassing, a few humid weeks
: had passed, and when I got to the point of fit testing the two
: halves, the hull was in no way going to conform back into shape.
: I tried a lot of things to try to get it to come back into the
: forms, nothing worked. So, I re-built a new hull. I used all WRC
: this time, and used rolling bevel instead of bead and cove. With
: the experience I've gained ( did I mention this was my second
: hull? ) I ended up with a better looking hull with improved fit
: and finish. AND I've got a really neat toboggan for the winter.
: It looks a lot like a hull...

Progress. The hull is done. I got the coaming risers done and cut to height, then did the hatch cutouts, a part I've been dreading all along. The job went fine though. Onward and wet-ward.
