: Hi Dale;

: Hey! Tomorrow (Tues) I join the hull & deck! This has been a long time

Hey Spidey, I recently joined the hull and deck on my Expedition. I have one suggestion. Use 3M straping tape. I used cheaper stuff previously and it left lots of sticky junk to remove. The 3M is almost $6 a roll for 3/4" but is very strong and does NOT leave sticky junk on the boat. I found it at a Staples store. Good luck.
