: Mike: Did you apply the kevlar to the entire inside of the hull or just
: specific locations?

Grant: I used the 1.8 Kevlar on the entire inside of the hull. I tried an experiment, required due to my forgetting to order kevlar tape. I left about 2-3" of the kevlar wild on the inside of the hull, and used that material to tape the inside of the deck to the hull. I then added bias-cut strips of kevlar to the joint. It worked ok, but there are a number of not very pretty bubbles along the seam. I think I will use the tape next time. Mike
