No putting it off any longer

Well, the footbrace rails are in place, the "cheekplates" are hung - I guess there's no more postponing the inevitable. It's time to join the deck and hull. My plan is to spot glue my 3" glass tape along the inside of the hull, carefully line up the deck and hull edges and secure w/ strapping tape. Tip her on her side and commence to slathering the tape with resin, using a foam brush extension at the bow and stern. Let it set up and repeat for the other side. Let's see, worklight, brush extension, respirator...am I forgetting anything?

Thanks,
Jim
