In Response To: Strip: Outside seam tape (Gordon)

Gordon,
I'm not sure I understand why you need to tape the outside seam if you've already glassed the boat inside and out. Did you let the deck glass overlap what you had on the hull? The inch or two overlap would then be feathered out with epoxy and sanding.

Given your intended use, I would think that the additional tape would be overkill and just add weight to the boat.

Regards,
Gero
