: And please, you are introducing the world of SOF to so many people,
I think that's far better aimed at Tom Yost . . . .

: If the build instructions aren't perfect so what?
Builder's are my beta testers - all of you guys are helping me to edit the guides.

: Are you getting hit bad by this hurricane right now?

Hurricane? Pfft. It was the earthquake that had me momentarily disconcerted. I've been able to recover, though.

: . . . The layers have less than perfect contact, but I used gorrilla glue so it will cover the gaps . . .
That cover is merely foam, which is mostly air. Gorrilla glue, et al., is definitely not gap filling, nor particularly suited to marine applications. Still, it will likely work , though.

Good luck!
