Not to hijack this thread but I could not notice you glass booth the out side and inside of your hull before starting on the deck. Are their any advantages to this (stiffer, hull acts like it's own strong back)? Or is the way I am going about it dumb:
-build the hull
-glass the out side of the hull
-flip the hull over
-knock the forms loose and re tack them using the old hot melt glue as a positioning guide
-build the deck - where I am now
-glass the deck
-crack it in half and clean-up and glass the inside of booth
-try and get them realigned and glue them together.

Man steps were skipped to show a general overview of the planed process.
