: Well I finally got the hull and deck of my guillemot joined together. It
: looks like a boat now. I used a strap wrapped around a big screwdriver to
: squeeeze the two halfs together and then taped it with packing tape. My
: problem is the tape slipped just a little. I now have about a 1/16 inch
: gap between the halfs (just enough to see light through). Has this
: happened to anyone else? What did you do to fix the problem?
