That is a very nice looking boat Joe. Someone else also suggested to me to try pre-attaching the seam tape. I probably would have, but I had so difficult a time getting this bias cut tape to wet out properly, I thought it best for me to pre-soak it in epoxy. It's not a perfect seam, but it came out pretty good.

Thanks,

Woody
