In Response To: Other: Should I tack-and-tape a S&G kit? (Nyah)

Can you do it? Yes. Should you do it? Only you can make that decision. By not glassing, you lose a lot of strength, stiffness, abrasion resistance and ultimately, durability. It limits where you can safely take the boat and what you can do with it. Is that something that you are willing to accept?
