: After you cut the panels out, check the edges for voids. If you see any, fill
: them with epoxy. Your boat will be fine.

: Also, remember that your cut panels will probably be under the greatest
: stress as you are handling them during the building process. Treat them
: gently. After the boat is stitched together, the panels all reinforce each
: other to make a very strong boat.

Thankīs for you hints. I have already cutten 50% of the panels (itīs a WR180 multi) and found only a small long void and i will fill it with epoxy.
From now on, my sky will shine blue.

Thankīs
