: Thanks all for the input.
: I don't think getting the right temperature will be much of an
: issue. Here in Ohio is in the 90's during the day and 70's, at
: night at least for next few days.

: @Rob : not a manual for say. I have been going off of "The
: Strip-Built Sea Kayak", "Kayakcraft: fine woodstrip
: kayak construction" and your web site along with others...
: Also I have some cross grain sanding scratches (yes I know allays
: sand with the grain ... ) which your state will show up like a
: sore thumb in a clear layup. I was wandering just how much
: scratches and minor imperfections (gaps about 1/32 or less ) are
: magnified after finishing? I am hesitant to do any more sanding
: because even with a long fairing board and fresh sand paper
: (changing every 5 min or less) the softer wood is starting to
: cup out. It is not extream but it is noticeable when you run
: your hand over it. I would say 5 to 15 mills max.

Gaps need to be filled regardless, can't sand out gaps.
