: I can't see how this could be done. You need some overhang of
: fabric at the sheerline (and also need to take care not to join
: the halves by stray epoxy) so you need to alternately tape off
: or otherwise protect the half you are not coating. Until the
: epoxy hardens, you can't turn the boat over to rest on the
: freshly coated side anyway.

Thanks for the response I'm with you on not being able to turn it over my thought was to seperate them I'm just not sure how to support the one off the strongback. TB
