In Response To: One other thing... (Pete Rudie)

well I put a soaked a bath towl in water and let it drape over the hull for 1 1/2 hr.. Started to rachet the belt and heard a pop! I now have a series of cracks running down one strip for aproximently 17 in. I think this one will have to be done by eye. The next time I build this boat I will try the rachet belt method on fresh glue.
