: I am not sure what you mean by the "two fill

: Anyway, I digress. I completed the remaining roll outs with out any problem
: -roll loose and roll slow. Like you, I wanted to make time, so I waited 3
: hours and turned the hull on to the other edge and did the portside.

: It worked, but I got a spikey, punk epoxy hairdo from rubbing against the
: still green epoxy from the starboard 'roof'. I left the kayak on the port
: edge (starboard up) then spent the night worrying that my tape might peel
: itself off (it didn't).

: On reflection any time I made up by doing both sides at once was lost because
: I had to work this weekend. Given all the time and effort you have put in
: to get this far, I reckon do one side at a time and do it right. All too
: soon the building will be over. By doing one side at a time it should
: contain any of those pesky runs to a place where they can be usefull - in
: the chine.

: Hope this experience helps

: Cheers Pete

Hi Pete I'm sorry , I'm refering to the outside seams on the stripper G-17
The deck and hull both have cloth and two coats of resin,so I'm assuming the tape on the shear should have the same before sanding.
The inside seams went OK 24 hrs apart. They match the inside which has the cloth texture.
Regards Terry
