thank you george.

Now that the autumn chill is in the air, I am about to retreat back into the basement to finish what I started. My boat currently has one layer of 'glass on the outside of the hull (cured since march) and of the two concerns I had; secondary bonding and wood expansion due to unsealed hull interior, you have eased my mind on the bonding issue. The opportunity to get real data to answer the tough questions is outstanding. Thank you for the time that you invested in the tests.

Now perhaps I can work on the unsealed hull/expansion thing....
