: This gives an idea of what this will look like when finished. It's a good
: thing I put tape between the deck and haul or I think I might have epoxyed
: it together. It took a while to get the tape out. I will put it back in
: the sling, deck down, and give the haul a final sanding before glassing.
: If I leave the deck on while I glass it in the sling it looks like the
: slings may interfear with glassing because I would only have an inch or
: less between the haul and sling. I may have to take the deck off and
: fasten the haul back onto the strong back for fiberglassing. I hate to do
: this but I may not have a choice. Any thoughts about this?

John,
Perhaps you can block up between the slings and deck with some foam to raise it up enough for clearance. Just athought as I couldn't recall your set up.
