In Response To: S&G: Cirrus Deck - Tips? *Pic* (grant)

I didn't make a Cirrus, but I did do a stitch and glue. It's very easy to get excited watching the boat take shape and just jump ahead to the epoxy stage. Don't. Take your time to make sure everything is lined up just the way it should be. Get any twist out of the boat. Only after you are certain that the panels are lined up right and the boat is symetrical and straight and not twisted should you even consider breaking out the epoxy. Even then, you should stop and check the boat again. I know this seems obvious, but trust me on this. Take your time.
