Why an end pore?

: Being totally new at this, is it common to do the end pour with the boat
: lying flat? Nick says in his book to stand it up for the pour, and it's a
: "pour" not a thickened slather. This makes great sense to me,
: but I'm wondering about the reasons to not do it that way. Filled and
: thickened epoxy is lighter, but I can't imagine that being a significant
: reason. Anything else, aside from the obvious convenience?

: Mike.

When I am ready to fiberglass the inside of my haul I am planning on mixing 1/4" chopped fiberglass into a paste and troweling it for a foot or two along the ends with a 1 1/2" radius tool. It seems so easy to do while everything is wide open and the chopped glass will give it great strength. Am I missing something that a boat standing on end and pored would give?
