: Picture after dampening with T shirt, boat is still damp.

The problem is, your pictures show the boat from the sort of distance that any normal person would view it, and therefore there are no visible gaps or blemishes at all (and of course you are far more skilled than I am, but we won't mention that).

We obsessive boatbuilders view our gaps from a maximum distance of 3 inches, and then the gaps are very visibile, and we can agonise over them.
