: . . .. .. . . . . . . . .. . . . . . . . The joint of deck to hull is
: very sharp (vertical to horizontal) which means that seam tape
: is basically impossible to apply and with so little volume in
: there, you will never get inside anyways to apply the seam tape.

Struggled for 3-4 hours to apply the tape through the front hatch using a mirror before e-mailing Björn for advice suggesting you would have to be a dentist to succeed. He admitted that people usually glue the hull and deck together in the hatches. He had heard of no problems. Taped within the cockpit.

: . . . . . . . . this will not be the easiest build as Dan states
: in twisting of strips and transition from front of cockpit deck
: to flat back behind.

Managed it without heat or steam, just held with hot-melt glue to a flat bar attached to the back of the station behind the cockpit.

Agree with Et, add the sheer clamp after glassing the inside.
