Think I caught up this evening. I glassed the inside of the deck and put some 4" 9oz bias tape around the cockpit length wise and a piece cross ways in front and back. A heavy weight can do a pushup getting out of my boat with no problem!!

No what you mean about the squeezee, I spread it pretty thin but after 20 minutes I could always get a puddle in the bottom. I got most of it but the scales will tell the truth in the end.

P.S. My recess and cockpit is done except for the outer flange of laminated strips.
