: Thanks for the advice all. I applied second layer before reading

: Snipped the ends, again, and added 4" abrasion layers to cover
: mess.
: I did lay it on bias but Dave G convinced me I didn't work the

That hull looks great! I really like the six accent strips in the football area. Glad to hear the second round went better for you. I am not sure how I convinced you that you didn't work the cloth right all I did was smooth it until there was no wrinckles and the cloth kinda stuck to the boat like static electricity. Your boat looks great and good luck on the deck!
