: I was very surprised when I tilted the haul sideways to let sawdust fall off
: of the strong back and the haul came off in my hands. I was going to
: fasten it down with screws on the shear strips but I was still running
: through my head how I was going to fair both the haul and deck together
: for a nice match before I did any fiberglassing at all. I'm not sure I am
: going at this right. Anyway, while the haul is off of the forms you can
: see on the three forms in the fore front and how I had to build up the
: three sections in 1/4" tapered strips so the boat seemed better
: faired. This was the self designed plans I came up with on the BearBack
: design program and It may have not have been the best design for a strip
: built. It looks pretty ugly inside the haul. I appreciate all of the help
: from this board to build this kayak to this point since this is the only
: information I have had in doing this project. Thanks,

I fiber glassed my inside first then seamed it togeather then did my final sanding on the exterior befor glassing it and it seamed to make the "seem " finish well .(no pun intended )
