Well, the Chessy LT17 in the apartment livingroom experiment is underway. I already seriously goofed up the sheer clamps. I glued one sheer clamp to the wrong side of a hull panel. I pulled the sheer clamp up and it took 2 of 3 laminations with it along the length of the panel. After planing the now excess mahogany off the intact sheer clamp I have undertaken rebuilding that one inch strip along the hull panel with 3 coats of wood flour thickend epoxy moving from a thicker to progessively thinner mixture. I was planning on painting anyway, but...damn now I have to. MY question: with the sheer clamp now placed on the proper side of the botched panel and the divots replaced with the epoxy mixture can I still build a strong boat? I am assuming that the fiberglass will still do most of the work and as long as I sand the panel prior to epoxy fill coating the fiberglass the boat will still be strong. Or am I screwed and do I need a new panel? Sorry it was so long. -Mike
