Rehd,

I just glassed the inside tonight. The 1.5 oz stuff is difficult on those interior concave areas. I think I used too much epoxy, the glass started to float some, especially at the bottom of the turn of the bilge. The stuff was great on the outside, but required much more care on the inside. It might almost be worth it to wet the hull lightly with epoxy and then press the cloth down to it, finish with a warm thin epoxy to eliminate dry spots.
